By the tender mercy of our God,
the dawn from on high will break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into a way of peace.
-Luke 1.78-79
Recipe for adding Christmas cheer:
- Ring the bell for Salvation Army
- Advent Tea Calendar - a different tea to make every night. Cosiness in a cup
- Pressed Books and Coffee Christmas decor and book shopping
- Soft twinkle lights and candles to light to darkness of every evening
- Time with family and friends with gifts and good food
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to the daily agenda or the calendar (sprinkle love onto each one and enjoy the moments in your heart) and allow for reflection time on the great gift given by the tender mercy of God.
- May your heart be full, may your life be never the same when Christ comes to enter in.
Christmas is Near
What's this feeling like a pop of cheer?
Truly it is because Christmas is near.
More of Christ and less of us
Can we somehow let go of fuss?
To dive into love, the truest love of all
Separate from noise to hear love's call
A gift we have before us, unlike any gift
Something we scarce imagine; if we sift
Our minds and hearts, we find a need within
the deep place - a longing like something akin
To the mystical between worlds desire
We often fill with worldly mud and mire
Instead of looking up from said mud to see
The glorious present of Love, come down to you and me.
