#2 : I wish you Hope...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 24 December 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

Love the capture of the shadows of the nativity scene. A blessed and joyous Christmas to you and Mike. So far our power has stayed on but are expecting another 4 - 8 inches of snow in the next 20 hours, but God is good and He will keep us safe. ♥♥

@Marion: Thank you, Marion ... I see so much in those shadows...
We wish you and Ray a most blessed Christmas ... with real meaning in it, which I know will be the case.
Thankfully you still had power when you wrote this ... I hope that's still true!
God bless you and your family. ♥ ♥ ♥
