From Luke 2:12-14: “‘This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!'”
Each year turns life’s blessed page
One decade, then another
Hidden in the thickest woods
Wee church stands, like none other
Hymns singing praise with each day
Worship long into the night
Circled by God’s creation
Snowfall covers, always white
Each Christmas Eve remembers
Joy arrives with love, gift-wrapped
Bringing lasting peace and hope
God’s faithful love, now untapped
Sing “Silent night, Holy night”
Candles’ shadows dance inside
Receiving our promised Prince
God lives with us, this yuletide
Night reaches up, touching stars
Father looks down, filled with love
Salvation’s gift, from a babe
Hosannas ring, from above
Italian opera singer, Andrea Bocelli, sings “Silent Night” in this a cappela version.

Susan, thank you for sharing some thoughts. I was trying to write something different, and I was looking at a snow globe with a church surrounded by a winter scene.
