will you

hoping 
wondering



will you take time



in this Christmas preparation season



will you take time



to wait



to watch



to listen



will you take time
for yourself
the universe
God's plan
for the future

for you

This Christmas season is filled with memories. This little girl is holding up gifts for you. If you asked her today, or maybe more specifically asked me today, eighteen years later, I would say she is offering to you peace and joy and love. Truly she dreams of that for all. She knows what Christmas is about. She knows that Baby Jesus was born at Christmas time. She knows that Easter is so much more important than Christmas. Yes, she loves her technology, but she knows. She believes. I hope you will too.


Please accept a blessing of angels offered from her and from me.

my Christmas wishes for you

Dear Friends,

Wishing you peace & joy

for Christmas and the New Year,

together with strength & courage

for the path on which you tread

Angels be with you

And this one of my favourite Christmas songs -

O Holy Night

I LOVE CHRISTMAS

Huge absence as I try to wend my way through last part of another difficult year which has been filled with tons of healing.
I am excited to be working on a submission but need to focus my everything on it. I was thinking I was allowing myself really lots of time for it lol - that was three months ago.

angels be with you,
Wendy

there's something about Christmas

that makes me
want to smile

simple things
like light
and berries
on a string
are all it takes
this time of year
to bring a rush
of joy
into my heart

Hark the Herald

angels sing
glory to the newborn King

A CHRISTMAS FAIR

My friend Karen has hosted a Christmas fair. I decided to start this blog in response to Karen's invitation to participate. Karen has had a Christmas blog for a few years already. The more I thought about it the more I wanted to do my own special place for Christmas and this special holiday season. Take some time to look around. Get into the holiday spirit. Tell me about your favourite place online to prepare for Christmas. Watch for a give away to be announced in the next few days. Take your time. Grab a cup of your special Christmas tea or some apple cider and relax.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah for those who celebrate in that tradition.

words by which I am very inspired:

Take Joy

I SALUTE YOU! There is nothing I can give you which you have not; but there is much, that, while I cannot give, you can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today. Take Heaven.
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
Take Peace.
The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet, within our reach, is joy. Take Joy.
And so, at this Christmas time, I greet you, with the prayer that for you, now and forever, the day breaks and shadows flee away.
