The service was coming to a close…
all was dark and silent;
but for the glow of a single candle,
much like the star on that special night.
Darkness soon changed to a joyous glow
as we all shared in the light!
Each hand held a lit candle
and each heart held the best gift of all . ..
an invitation to eternal life!

A simple peasant girl
Answered yes
To a question
Which surely shocked her
And the world was changed
Forever.
Thanks, Mary.

Why do we make Christmas such a conundrum when all we need to do is open our hearts and follow His lead?

Soft lips touch my finger.
Teeth grip my knuckle.
Smiling eyes . . .
New tooth coming!
Marked by love.
