Madonna adoring the Christ Child - Correggio
Apologies, but I've been kept busier than a three legged cat on a frozen pond, not with Christmas activities per se, but with some big personal events. For instance, getting our 18 year-old-son off to Europe by himself, and buying a house, a process which we have now - finally - completed. We are proud owners of our own nest in the woods. Just in time for Christmas.
Light blogging, probably, until after the new year.
God bless you all with the warmth of the presence of His Son.
Please enjoy this Christmas Eve poem by Pavel Chichikov;
HYMN
FOR CHRISTMAS EVE
Rise
upon your darkened land, o Lord
Raise
the stubborn curtain of the night
The
morning is most beautiful o God
Your
people wait, your people yearned of old,
The
dawn is hushed while you have yet to see
Belovèd,
with your eye of purest gold
How
desolate without your light are we
Come
then, sun of truth, raise up your face
Father, sun of purity, your grace

Merriest of Christmases to you and yours, Tim!
