Cherishing like never before
Christmas Happiness and Joy
Both the simple...
Basic Shortbread
Shortbread with dark chocolate and instant coffee bits
Shortbread with toasted pecans, dark chocolate and toffee bits
and profound...
1 John 4:9-12
9 This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us
and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another,
God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
Christmas happiness and joy...
When shortbread, dark chocolate and toffee bits-sweet and toasted pecans and taste buds meet😋
When snowflakes waft, tumble, lilt, sparkle and swirl and the heart feels like a ballerina-twirl/girl
When windows, gold, lamp-lit at eventide frame frosty blue vistas of countryside
When hustle and bustle of shopping and cleaning and cooking don festive attire and meaning
When songs of the season with timeless oblation ring out the glad reason for hope's celebration
Because Jesus Christ, mankind's Saviour was born in a Bethlehem stable on that first Christmas morn
To cheer generations with wonder and love because God knew only His Son was enough
To be sin's last sacrifice, once and for all; Jesus, the name on which every heart may call
To find hope and joy that no sorrow can dim after we have put our faith in Him
