Finally getting around to uploading a Christmassy pic....
My Mum has the most adorable little angel in her living room, and I thought it was about time I got a photo of it....
The scripture is taken from the gospel according to St. Luke, chapter 2 verse 14 when the angels appeared to the shepherds to announce the good news that the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, had been born :)
I've added a couple of textures, one by Ruby blossom www.flickr.com/photos/rubyblossom/5099275829/
and the other by Phantasy photo www.flickr.com/photos/phantasy__photo/4210911437/
Hope you all have a great Monday and a stress free start to the week. Thanks for the visits, comments and faves :)

Each year our family looks forward to this time: 25 days of preparation and celebration of the birth of our savior, Jesus. We have made this a part of our Christmas for about 10 years. This keeps our focus on Him and not on things that don't deserve our time.
John Walford, The Nativity, 2010 (Inspired and adapted from Gerard van Honthorst’s "Nativity," 1622 (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Koln), with thanks to each photographer for elements that contribute to this piece, for use of which all efforts have been made to obtain permission. My thanks also to Immanuel Presbyterian Church, whose 2010 Christmas lessons and carols service caused me to reflect on the significance of the ox and ass.

"The Nativity"
No misplaced marvel, incalculable wonder,
By science unexplained, and unexplainable!
A virgin birth, the boys in high school know,
Comes not ever into being, never so conceived.
A trick of language? A wicked rumor spread?
Or a matter of divine breaking of His own rules?
Who daily the world spins on its axis, made it so,
Each night, day follows, He deemed it thus to go.
This one child’s mother Virgin pure stayed she,
So we know, her son both flesh and divinity to be.
Of saccharine, smiling, nativity greetings cards
So soured am I! They lie, for surely it was not so!
Only the unknown, the outcast to a stable sent,
For richer folks, for inn space, their money spent.
Poor shepherds, out in the fields, tattered clothes,
Poor protection from the chill, were open to learn,
To heed wondrous words, that angels did disclose;
And what those richer folks did not dream or know,
Was put in the mind of an ass and ox to show.
--- John Walford, Christmas 2010, from a heart
overflowing with wonder and deep gratitude,
and wishing all family and friends likewise.
With our shared affection, John & Maria W.
At a church near Old Town Spring is this lovely nativity scene of Christ's Birth. After rain during the day the rain puddles gave neat reflection to the beautiful manger scene representing the first Christmas. My gift to you to at this most beautiful & blessed time
of the year, please listen to this lovely version, by Celine Dion, of "O Holy Night"
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
As I reflect on the Christmas story and the Gifts that have come to each of us as a result of the Savior’s birth, I never fail to think...
Der Name von Eltville geht auf Alta Villa (hochgelegener Hof oder Siedlung) zurück. Die Stadt war jahrhundertelang Stützpunkt bzw. Residenz der Mainzer Erzbischöfe, bevor sie 1866 an Preussen fiel. Heute ist Eltville eine bedeutende Wein- und Sektstadt.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is [a]Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a [b]manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men [c]with whom He is pleased.”
When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.”
(NASB translation.)
Xmas2108--Nativity
good will, toward men.
i sincerely hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas,
full of family, friends, food and fun,
but also with the memory of the true meaning of the day:
Christ's birth.

Wishing you all and your loved ones a wonderful and peaceful Christmas time! Thank you from my heart for your visits and very kind comments over the past months. I loved reading them and they've been such an encouragement to me.
With love to you all at this special time.... Sonja
Reminds me of the kid in Polar Express when he rings the bell and doesn't hear anything. Do you go through Christmas enjoying all the smells and sights, fellowship and food but never hear what's really going on? There is sooo much more to Christmas, so much more meaning behind why we give gifts. It doesn't have to end when the tree comes down either.
