It’s Gratituesday! Who would have thought that one birth, one life, one death, could have such an impact on a world. It has on mine. And this year particularly, his resurrection feels like a part of the season of celebration and gratitude. I think perhaps it will continue that way for all the Christmases that follow.
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
I wish you Peace!

Oh Holy Night
– Marcus Tidmarsh
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
“God descends to re-ascend. He comes down; down from the heights of absolute being into time and space, down into humanity … down to the very roots and sea-bed of the Nature He has created. But He goes down to come up again and bring the ruined world up with Him. One has the picture of a strong man stooping lower and lower to get himself underneath some great complicated burden. He must stoop in order to lift, he must almost disappear under the load before he incredibly straightens his back and marches off with the whole mass swaying on his shoulders.” ~CS Lewis on the incarnation

Love your advent calendar! Especially the palm trees.
I’ve never heard that quote before either. Wondering why, since it’s so great.
