Rejoice in God

And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord,

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." Luke 1: 46-47

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.
Where love takes, let love give, and so doubt not:
Love counts but the will,
And the heart has its flowers of devotion
No winter can chill;
They who cared for "good will" that first Christmas
Will care for it still.

—A.A. Procter


At the end of the day many of the gifts will be long forgotten - or but a pleasant memory. Here's hoping our beloved children will remember the joy of Christmas for generations. And may their hearts long hold comfort and peace in the words of our Lord!
