Hello Pauline!  8)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too my dear friend!  ;-)

It has been an incredible year and with every new year we meet some new special friends. Looking forward to the coming year and the new relationships it brings. I look at your list of friends and everyone on your list is a special friend to me also but how could they not be. They are all kindred spirits from around the world.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!  :-)

Dearest friends,

It feels great to be back amongst you all. Finally I have moved to Chennai, my state’s capital. I am thoroughly enjoying the change. Yeh the change in career, place and people etc; most of all I’m so blessed to be close to my church. Now more than ever I am active, and doing all that I luv to do.

Before I go any further, I have to say a BIG thank you to all for keeping me in prayer through the past 3 most difficult months of my life. I am indebted to you for life. God bless you all.

The highlight of the past month is that I got honored on the 2nd of this month with an honorary Doctorate  from  my States Theological  Institution; known as Indian Theological Research Institute- for the work that I have been doing all along at Madurai.  I had no idea I was being observed, but I guess God had other plans. Or did my Dad go spill the beans on me up there :-) well what ever, I am blessed beyond measure, and now more than ever get to go speak at more outreaches for underprivileged women. Something very close to my heart. For now this phase of my life couldn’t have started better than it has, I am so glad I can share this all with you lovely friends, and now I look forward to sharing more as it happens in my life, you are my ‘cyber family’ after all. 

Thank you once again for being there for me.

Much luv n hugz to each one of you all

Your  friend always

Pauline, I am so happy to hear these wonderful words!!  Yes, God has been looking out for you during all the times and planning better things for you.  I am awed to be a friend of someone so honorable.  Please enjoy every minute of your life from this day forward with many more blessings to come.

Love you, friend, and glad you are back,

Pauline,

How wonderful that you are now settled  and living your new life.  I am so happy for you.  God carries us and keeps us safe even when it tends to be quite stormy.  What wonderful blessings you are reaping now!

I wish you the best forever and ever.

Hugs,
