And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were sore afraid. And
the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall
be to all people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying
in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude
of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men. ~Luke 2:9-14
What is Christmas? It is tenderness
for the past, courage for the present, hope for
the future. It is a fervent wish that every
cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal,
and that every path may lead to peace.
~Agnes M. Pharo
The joy of brightening
other lives,
bearing each others' burdens, easing
other's loads
and supplanting empty hearts and lives with
generous gifts become, for us, the true
joy of Christmas!
