Christmas Wishes, Poetry and Thanks

Hello friends,

Christmas is less than one week away. I suppose that you are bustling about your homes, busy with last minute preparations. I will soon be off to visit my son Samuel for a few days, followed by a visit to my house from son John and his family, and daughter Heather and her brood. In between will be gatherings with hubby's clan and my wonderful stepchildren.

 It's about Jesus. It's about family. And about friends like you, who for some unexplicable reason visit my little spot in the cyber-universe. Thank you! Your visits and thoughtful comments have warmed my heart all year long.  I'll leave you with two reposts, poems by meself-- and my fondest wishes that you have a Merry, Joyful, and Meaningful Christmas...and that the New Year be filled with Peace and Happiness, and that you will ever keep your sense of awe and wonder.

A Christmas Greeting

by Debora Rorvig

On this wintry Sunday eve

I'm nestled in my cozy old

well-worn chair

by the fireplace;

Watching raindrops slowly drizzling

down the windowpanes

and reveling in the luxury

of Quiet.

The Christmas tree twinkles brightly in the corner near the fire,

it's boughs are fragrant fir.

I yawn a bit and sigh

and sip my chamomile tea

from my favorite flowery mug,

And reminisce of Christmas's past

And firelight

And mistletoe...

and You.

***



God,

How must you have felt

the day You tenderly wrapped

Your only Son

in Human flesh

and laid him on a bed of straw

at the doorstep of this world?

Who am I

that You would give your precious Child

to me?

Debora Rorvig
