Christmas 2012

My Christmas card to my family, friends, and readers:

Little sheep on hillside grazing
Old men shuddering from the cold
Rugged rocks and land surrounding
Dark and cold that night of old
Angels brok their quiet musings
Night vanished in brilliant skies
Daring trumpet sounds were fusing
Strident arches reaching high
As the angels told the shepherds
Voices ringing loud and clear
Indewelling God had come to save us
Our Christ, the Saviour, the Son so dear
Ushered from the throne of heaven and
Resting now in a manger near

This is how Christmas started - on a hillside covered wtih sheep and tended by cold shepherds.  As we sit in our warm, comfortable homes, surrounded by gifts and family, may we renew our search for the Christ-Child - our Lord and Saviour!

Merry Christmas, and may God's blessings be with you all each day, and may you seek God's will to make the world a better place because of the gift that He sent to all mankind - Jesus.
