The Christ Child

“This Christ Child” shall the Savior be. The animals have come around to this mother name of Mary, as angels make a joyful sound. The animals have come around the kings who traveled from far away. As angels make a joyful sound they must leave at the break of day. The kings who traveled from far way report that danger doth abound. They must leave at the break of day. Safety from Herod must be found. . Reports that danger doth abound , sent to the Earth from Heaven above. Safety from Herod must be found, warnings for precious Child they love. Sent to the Earth from heaven above, to this mother name of Mary warnings for precious Child they love. This "Christ Child" shall the Savior be. By: Joyce Johnson 11/21/10 Won 5th For Paula Swanson's contest

Such a lovely reflection on the first Christmas, Joyce! Best wishes in Paula's contest. I'm glad you'll be with your daughter on Thanksgiving. I'm celebrating with good friends. No air travel for me, thank you. Some airports are reporting very long delays and people being "groped" by the TSA are missing their flights. There has to be a better way. Have a wonderful holiday, my friend. Love, peace and joy, Carolyn

Very lovely, Joyce..This picture of the Mother of God you've painted for all to see. Her gift she received of "free will" was really invaluable for all of us, today. Much love, Audrey
