Christmas Day

'The light of the Christmas star to you.

The warmth of heart and home to you. 

The cheer and goodwill of friends to you. 

The hope of a childlike heart to you. 

The joy of a thousand angels to you. 

The love of the Son and God's peace to you.' 

(Irish Blessing)

The picture above was painted by a talented artist, Christine, who is a member of my church congregation. It decorates the noticeboard outside our church, bringing a reminder of 'the reason for the season' (as they say) to all who pass it. The star, below, shines from the window of Saltaire's URC church. 

With my best wishes for today and the coming year, to all those who read my blog.
