My goodness where did the month of December go? I just had my birthday and the month is almost gone. Christmas is almost here.
All of God's creatures are excited for Christmas day to arrive!
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas….only a hippopotamus will do
Sing & dance and share that Christmas joy with everyone! Thank you Maryline for letting me steal your graphic!
But don't forget to share Christ and the true meaning of Christmas.
Several years ago, I made & sent out the above for our Christmas Cards. I don't always get the time to do that because when others want off, I like to work so they can be with family. We are blessed to see our family during the year.
I am so grateful that we are all part of God's flock and that we are all family. Blessings & Hugs & lots of LOVE! Pam
Never to take from creation’s beauty more than we give; never to destroy wantonly for the furtherance of greed;
Never to deny to give our hands for the building of earth’s beauty; never to take from her what we cannot use.
Give us hearts to understand
That to destroy earth’s music is to create confusion; that to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty;
That to callously pollute her fragrance is to make a house of stench; that as we care for her she will care for us.
We have forgotten who we are. We have sought only our own security. We have exploited simply for our own ends. We have distorted our knowledge. We have abused our power.
Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst, Help us to find the way to refresh your lands.
Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and pollution, help us to find the way to cleanse your waters.
Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with misuse, help us to find the way to restore beauty to your handiwork.
Great Spirit, whose creatures are being destroyed, help us to find a way to replenish them.
Great Spirit, whose gifts to us are being lost in selfishness and corruption, help us to find the way to restore our humanity.
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, whose breath gives life to the world, hear me; I need your strength and wisdom.
