Though this land faces its darkest hour
How blessed we are to see God's power
By faith in his Son
And not by sight
We all bathe in his glorious light
With mighty deeds and unseen hands
He strengthens the weak
And loosens the bands
He brings us through the days and nights
And puts our evil foes to flight
Now at this time when his story is told
We remember his love is more precious than gold
Or glitter, or presents,
Or manly delights
To set our hearts above the heights
And give praise to God
Come Christmas night.
Purple Passion
"A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, but softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small."
Eva K. Logue
Scented wrapping paper.
Put two drops of geranium or cinnamon for women, cedar wood for men and lemon or mandarin for children on a cotton wool ball and leave with your wrapping paper in a sealed bag over night. Wrapping paper that smells gorgeous.
