God’s Gift of Love and Life

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 earth, goodwill to men

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

From heavens all gracious King.

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

The world in solemn stillness lay

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

to hear the angels sing.

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

Still through the cloven skies they come

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

With peaceful wings unfurled

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

And still their heavenly music floats

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

O’er all the weary world

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

Above its’ sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

And ever o’er its’ Babel sounds

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

The blessed angels sing

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

For lo! the days are hastening on

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

By prophet bards foretold

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

When with the ever circling years

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

Comes round the age of gold

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

When peace shall over all the earth

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

Its’ ancient splendours fling

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing

Photo by Here I Am/Carrie

Peace on Earth
Goodwill to all Men


May God’s gift of love and life
find a place in your heart
and have a
Wonderful Christmas
and a
Blessed New Year

Serpent From the Sea A Halloween Story

From the deepest darkness place in the sea the serpent hides waiting for its prey to come to the water edge.
The beauty of sunsets and sunrises always entice
unaware souls to come for a closer look..

As the sun light sinks over the horizon creating a beauty that will draw many, the serpent creeps out of the waters depths.P4230029 


This hideous creature lurks the shores looking for
weak souls to devour.

P4230034


While one stands unsuspecting gazing at the beauty of the sunrise the serpent crawls closer. P4230058


Mindless that something so dark and evil could possible be out there, they continue to see only the golden glow that
lights up the sky.
  
P4240016


Suddenly in that moment when all seemed perfect the serpent strikes snatching the unsuspecting soul.   An emptiness takes over the soul while being sucked into the dark depths of the underworld.P4240024


You may be drawn to the waters edge through beauty, but without love in your heart you will be unable
to resist the sepent.
 
P4240027


As the light looses it glorious color the serpent returns to the sea to await another soul in search of the beauty that will lure them to the waters edge... P4240057


So Wishing Everyone a
Happy Safe Halloween
and don’t forget to keep love in your heart so the creatures of the dark can’t snatch your soul


and have a


Good Morning…  Good Afternoon…  Good Night…
Whatever it is to you
