Thanks Be To God

All of the blessings I have in my home, in my life, come from one source - God.

As much pleasure as I receive from decorating my home for the season,

finding the perfect gifts for family and friends,

sending greetings to those I seldom see,

remembering those less fortunate and

those serving our country overseas;

there is only one reason all of that happens this time of year,

the Birth of our Saviour - Jesus Christ.

The creche has been in my home for 25 years,

the angel created by my cousin Linda from a

handkerchief saved from my great aunts "farm".

It is the first "decoration" I set out every year,

but the message lives on throughout the year.
