A BLESSED FEAST OF THE INCARNATION TO YOU!
No post today - there will be a Water Daily tomorrow.
I'm sending a gratitude for you, along with a heartfelt prayer that your Christmas is a joy, whatever the circumstances this year.
Perhaps this year the words my favorite Christmas carol, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, resonate for us, especially the last verse:
It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
from heaven's all gracious King"
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come
with peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing
O ye beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look up! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing
For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling,
And all the world send back the song which now the angels sing.
They are still singing... can you hear them?
Blessings,
Kate
