"When she finished the final seam, she collapsed against the seat back and wiped a droplet of sweat from the end of her nose. A muscle in her neck had worked itself into a kink at least an hour ago, but she hadn't had time to stop and tend to it. She massaged the kink now, rolling her head back and forth blissfully as she rubbed. oh, so gut to finish the machine work! All that remained on both dresses was the hand stitching of the hem and such."

A Christmas Prayer by Kimberla Roby Lawson

"It was Black Friday, and while millions of folks were out chasing some of the most colossal deals of the century, all Alexis wanted was for this whole Christmas season to be over with. There were times when she wished she could feel differently, but ever since her mom had passed away five years ago, she hadn't wanted anything to do with it. Of course, she did still recognize and mentally rejoice at the beautiful birth of Christ, but when it came to huge family celebrations and festive gatherings, she wanted no parts of them. What she did instead, mostly, was pray that New Year's Day would come as quickly as possible so she could get on with her life."http://bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com
