Christmastime is here.

Merry Christmas

from our living room
to yours!

Thank you for journeying alongside me this year here in blogland!
I'm truly looking forward to 2011 and all that may be in store for each of us.
I trust that wherever you find yourself this Christmas weekend

YOU WILL FEEL the HOPE He brings!
He has come to our cold, dark stable of life and FILLED us ANEW!!

And He is near to ALL who call on Him!

*the joyful*
*the brokenhearted*
*the lonely*
*the glad*
*the hospital bedside*
*the wanderer*
*the free*
*the homesick*
*the shipwrecked*
*the sad*
*the bound*

"Love divine all love excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down;fix in us Thy humble dwelling, all Thy faithful mercies crown; Thou alone are all compassion, pure, unbounded love Thou art; visit us with Thy salvation, enter every longing heart; Love divine, Love divine, Love divine, Love divine, Love divine."
~by J. Stainer found in a beautiful music book, dated 1909~

Be back later next week....until then my friends.

"One of the most glorious messes in the world
is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day.
Don't clean it up too quickly."
