"These three remain: Faith, Hope, And Love.
The greatest of these is Love."
Corintians 13:13

I hope this christmas
Comes to you joyous and softly,
With the rustle of angel's wings,
With the warmth of a candle's glow,
With laughter of children,
And a "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

I hope it arives,
With the beauty of church bells,
With the scent of cinnimon and pine,
And brings much warmth and love,
To make your heart shine.

Take the wrongs and the grudges,
Of yesterday.
Add them to your regrets,
And tuck them all away.

For a New Year has arrived,
With hope that can mend.
And the past is too heavy,
To carry my friend.

Be kind to yourself,
And release the sarrow.
On New Year's promise,
Of a better tommorow.

Lighten your burdens,
With New Year's rays.
And keep the hope it brings,
In your heart always.

There are so many things
I wish for you during the New Year.
I hope the road ahead is smooth,
And that the love of family and friends,
Comforts and keeps you warm
On the cold winter nights ahead.
I hope you hold onto the beautiful memories,
But look to the future with renewed hope.
I hope every dawn finds you healthy and happy,
And every eve finds you cozy,
And with a peace of mind.
I hope beauty of life inspires you,
And that you find many reasons to smile every day.
But most of all,
I hope God's love surrounds you,
Making your heart a church,
Where love lives,
And where prayers are answered.

"And the angel said unto them,
Fear not; For, behold,
I bring to you good tidings of great joy;
Which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day,
In the city of David
a saviour,
Which is Christ the Lord."
Luke
2:10-11

May the reason for the season
Stay in your heart always.

We all need a dear friend,
Just like we need the magic of christmas.
For a true friend moves us,
Wakes us up,
Brings us back to life,
And reminds us,
Just how precious life is,
And how truly blessed we are.
I want to thank you
For being such a friend to me.
And for making each day of life
More meaningful.
I truly treasure
This beautiful gift you have given me.

Merry Christmas
And
Happy New Year
Love,
Leigh
