Merry Christmas friends!
Wishing you all the happiest and merriest Christmas, with Christ at the center of your celebration.
Hail, thou long expected Jesus, born to set thy people free:
From our sins and fears release us; let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation, hope of all the saints thou art;
Long desired of ev'ry nation, joy of ev'ry waiting heart.

His life had also its sorrows sore, for aloes had a part; and when I think of the cross he bore, my eyes with teardrops start.
Out of the ivory palaces, into a world of woe, only his great eternal love made my Savior go.
His garments, too, were in cassia dipped, with healing in a touch; in paths of sin had my feet e'er slipped - he's saved me from its clutch.
Out of the ivory palaces, into a world of woe, only his great eternal love made my Savior go.
Joyfully,
Ashley
Luke 2:10-14
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
