Merry Christmas
Christmas Tea Poem
On Christmas Day, at half past three,
brew yourself a cup of tea.
I'll think of you and you'll think of me,
While sitting around your Christmas Tree
I made Café Beaujolais yesterday for
a Sunday brunch before church.
My husband and daughter
heartily approved.
The tea is set on a vintage tablecloth that is laid
prepared for our Christmas party.
Our dining room Christmas tree is decked in
gold and white this year.
Our tea is set with my Homer Laughlin
Cavalier Eggshell china.
I made this cake stand from a plate
and a dessert cup
You are welcome to stroll through
our home decorated for Christmas.
The Son of God became a man to
enable men to
become the sons of God.
-C.S.Lewis
‘For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given:
and the government shall be upon His shoulder:
and His Name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God,
The Everlasting Father, The Prince Of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his Kingdom, to order it, and to establish
i
t with Judgment and with Justice from henceforth
even for ever. The zeal of the LORD
of hosts will perform this’
"For unto you is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the LORD"
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely,
Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
-Christina Rossetti
"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit
that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh is of God"
Where there is faith, there is love;
Where there is love, there is peace;
Where there is peace, there is God;
And where there is God; there is no need.
-Leo Tolstoy
Perhaps that is the true gift of a teatime celebration:
It fills our cups with joy and warmth and friendship.
May the echo of the teacup’s message be heard not
only at Christmas, not only on special occasions,
but anytime friends come together.
Emelie Barnes
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns,
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
O Come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him, born the
King of angels
"Christmas is a gift of love wrapped in
human flesh and tied securely with
the strong promises of God.
It is more than words can tell,
for it is a matter for the heart
to receive, believe and understand."
[Unknown]
Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive
is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is
that He gave His only Son. The only requirement
is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is that
you shall have everlasting life.
