Just Words Today

I think I wore the boys out taking so many Christmas card pictures. Micah sees the camera and says "Mama put it up, PLEASE." Sad! I want them to be over it by Christmas though, so I will give it a rest. We are also getting a new camera for Christmas (actually a little before) so hopefully, there will be some really good ones to come.

Some words from some favorite Christmas Hymns:

From Good Christian Men Rejoice

Good Christian Men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice!
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath oped the heavenly door,
And man is blessed forevermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!

Good Christian Men rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice!
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Jesus Christ was born to save;
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain his everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!

And one more: (From What Child is This)

Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian cheer for sinners here
The Silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through
The cross be borne for me for you.
Hali, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

And now from God's Word:

"Yet even now," declares the Lord,
return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, weeping, and mourning;
and rend your hearts and not your garments."
Return to the LORD, you God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster.
Joel 2:12-13
