What's Important

Last day of school for the calendar year and I'm sure that you're excited about the thought of sleeping late each day. Let your mind run ahead one week when we'll be together as a family spending some time laughing and enjoying each others company.

As the world celebrates the birth of Jesus, let us be reminded of what is important!

-It's not the presents given or received.
-Being together; that's important.
-Sharing love; that's important.
-Doing kind acts toward others; that's important.
-Looking out for the best toward others; that's important.
-Caring for each other; that's important.
-Bringing peace into each others home; that's important.

Have a good day!
Love,
Dad


"Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah;" (Zechariah 2:13)

"But Jehovah is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him." (Habakkuk 2:20)


Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

(words from 5th century; music traditional French Carol)

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,

And with fear and trembling stand;

Ponder nothing earthly minded,

For with blessing in His hand,

Christ our God to earth descendeth,

Our full homage to demand.


Rank on rank the host of heaven

Spreads its vanguard on the way,

As the Light of light descendeth

From the realms of endless day,

That the pow'rs of hell may vanish

As the darkness clears away.


At His feet the six-winged seraph;

Cherubim, with sleepless eye,

Veil their faces to the Presence,

As with ceaseless voice they cry,

Allelulia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Lord Most High.
