“And when we give each other
Christmas gifts
in His name,
let us
remember that He has given us
the sun and the moon and the stars,
and
the earth with its forests and mountains
and oceans--
and all that lives
and moves
upon them.
He has given us all green things
and everything
that
blossoms and bears fruit
and all that we quarrel about
and all that we
have misused--
and to save us from our foolishness,
from all our sins,
He
came down to earth
and gave us Himself.”

Merry Christmas, dear Roland.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Inger. And to you as well! :-)
DeleteAll the blessings of the season to you, Roland. Merry, Christmas, friend.
ReplyDeleteAll the same to you, Robyn! And if you're going to get on Santa's naughty list at least have fun doing it! :-)
DeleteHi Roland - such wise words ... there is so much to blessed with - yet so much hurt we need to do what we can to mitigate the horror we humans seem to bring to the world. Let us bring peace - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI know you enjoyed your Canadian stay. It is such a beautiful country. Yes, it seems in our nature to destroy ourselves. Have to fight upstream of our destructive tendencies, I guess. Happiest New Year!!
