A Christmas Card

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. In thiswas life; and this life was the light of the world. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. Emmanuel, God with us.

More than just a shopping season

a state of mind

and a place

and time

a habit of the heart and soul

… a story writ

and drawn

and told

and told again ...

Just this ...

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this wise: when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream.

"Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS."

It was the winter wild,
while the Heaven-born child,
All meanly wrapt
in the rude manger lies.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
