THE BIRTH OF JESUS










 We yearn our Father, for the simple beauty of Christmas ~~ for all the old familiar melodies and words that remind us of that great miracle, when He who made all things was one night to come as a Babe, to lie in the crook of a woman's arm.

Before such mystery we kneel, as we follow the shepherds and wise men to bring Thee the gift of our love ~ a love that we confess has not always been as warm or sincere or real as it should have been.  But now, on this Christmas Day, that love would find its Beloved, and from Thee receive the grace to make it pure again, warm and real.  We bring Thee our gratitude for every token of Thy love.
