CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

“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.”
― Sigrid Undset 

  MERRY CHRISTMAS, MY FRIENDS!
