It is that time of the year again and, as usual, I had to prepare something special to send around .
It is a good season for re-connecting with family and old friends….
This time I took a picture of our SSL rural campsite ( part of it), played around a bit with Photoshop and made this little appropriate visual. After all there is a Christmas happening not only in Bethlehem but wherever we are and anywhere else as well.
I guess each one of us is also a Christmas happening depending on how we live out the season’s messages of peace and joy and glory to God.

As foretold so it comes to be
morning enchantment
unfolding beyond the trees…
dawn hush whispering
persisting peaceful presence
darkness gently yielding
dazzle defining slowly
redemption tableau revealed
star glow of prophecy fulfilled
gentle mother quiet comforting
foster father caring concerned
shepherds reverently present
unto us a child is born
unto us a saviour given
Emmanuel – God is with us!
terryq: dec.2010
And with a message like that we can live lives of comfort and hope knowing that in the long run (and in quite a number of short runs as well) all will fall into place and be well.
Emmanuel – God is with us!
Christmas blessings
and New Year peace
to you !!
All else well here as I enjoy the break and look forward to happy surprises in the coming year!
Lots of these for you and the family too.
Love, Terry
