It's been a bit of a struggle getting in the right mindset this year. I especially needed these words: <br />"It kindles in its chill a thrill that contradicts despair<br />And cheers faith’s frame with hope’s dear Name; Jesus! As once again<br />Hearts start anew to travel to the town of Bethlehem"<br /><br />"December rings the old year out before it brings the new<br />It rebukes doubt with shouts of joy for what is good and true," so thank you!<br /><br />Listening to the song, "The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight..." that really got me. It's one of those things you've heard a million times and yet, you haven't really "heard" it. I think I'll play some Christmas music today and try listening a bit closer.<br /><br />Also those "Melt-in-your-mouth-orange pillows" look so good! Might have to try, substituting oat flour for almond (for allergy reasons) :)Lilac & Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310795393642483522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-79413687396180246342023-12-02T12:48:04.956-05:002023-12-02T12:48:04.956-05:00thank-you dear Brenda<3 sending a big prayer-hu...thank-you dear Brenda<3 sending a big prayer-hug across the miles!Janet Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126248666972072628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504381264366497570.post-70073209386162957142023-12-02T12:44:39.520-05:002023-12-02T12:44:39.520-05:00I loved your poem, Janet!
