tidings of great joy...

Concerts and choirs...
lights and trees.
Cookies and candies and nuts...
and those sweet little oranges.
And even snow!


And Christmas cards in the mailbox from friends near and far.
And a heavy parcel delivered to the door...
 from our friends in Switzerland.
We shall have Swiss chocolate for Christmas!
And watching the grands open their gifts.

They are all things I enjoy about Christmas.

But what brings me real joy?

A Saviour...
who is Christ the Lord.

Only He can cast out fear...
and bring joy.

"Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy."
Luke 2:10KJV

Wishing you joy this Christmas!

    Without Him, things make no sense. With Him, most things do. A Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and yours!

    We all enjoyed a little bit of our Winter Wonderland.
    Where would we be without our Savior!? Blessings...

    "Fear not, for behold I bring you tidings of great joy"...what could bring us all more comfort and peace during the days of our Christmas holiday! So comforting to me!
