Looks like we will have a white Christmas after Saturday’s storm! As usual, our road accrued a bit more than some places. I think I cleaned 10 inches off my deck. Easy the first two times I went out, then the last time it was a bit like sleet. In any case, I was plowed early, plus a neighbor very kindly brought his amazing machine up & finished off the driveway to perfection! Resurrecting a poem from 2015. Wishing you a joyous Christmas and hope for the New Year.
Christmas Blessings
Christmas comes upon us
With its sparkle and its rush.
We need to look beyond it
And to seek the peace and hush,
That come when to the manger
We bring our hopes and fears ~
The Holy Babe of Bethlehem
Has come to wipe our tears.
Although the world’s in turmoil
With disharmony and strife,
Jesus, our precious gift from God,
Was born to bring us life.
So may this season be for you
One of joy and love,
Filled with many blessings,
Shining like the Star above.
