Good morning!
This morning, I
thought I would keep things simple and just share a handful of
Christmas thoughts and and quotes to inspire your day. Merry Christmas!
"It is the one
season of the year when we can lay aside all gnawing worry, indulge in
sentiment without censure, assume the carefree faith of childhood, and
just plain "have fun." Whether they call it Yuletide, Noel,
Weinachten, or Christmas, people around the earth thirst for its
refreshment as the desert traveler for the oasis."
~D.D. Monroe "I am not alone at
all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the
message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is
darkest, the wind coldest, the word seemingly most indifferent. For
this is still the time God chooses."
~Taylor Caldwell
"Christmas - that
magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible
that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of
nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but
always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of
everything we have ever loved."
~Augusta E. Rundel
"I sometimes think
we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the
long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for
me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the
year. And thus I drift along into the
holidays - let them overtake me unexpectedly - waking up some find morning and suddenly saying to myself: "Why, this is Christmas Day!" ~David Grayson
"We hear the beating
of wings over Bethlehem and a light that is not of the sun or of the
stars shines in the midnight sky. Let the beauty of the story
take away all narrowness, all thought of formal creeds. Let it be
remembered as a story that has happened again and again, to men of many
different races, that has been expressed through many religions, that
has been called by many different names. Time and space and
language lay no limitations upon human brotherhood."
~New York Times, 25
December 1937, quoted in Quotations for Special Occasions by Maud van
Buren, 1938, published by The H.W. Wilson Company, New York
"Christmas is most
truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to
those who need it most."
~Ruth Carter
Stapleton
"The star of Bethlehem was a star of hope that led the wise men to the fulfillment of their expectations, the success of their expedition. Nothing in this world is more fundamental for success in life than hope, and this star pointed to our only source for true hope: Jesus Christ." ~D. James Kennedy ("Following the Star" in
Christmas Stories for the Heart)
"Late on a sleepy, star-spangled night,
those angels peeled back the sky just like you would tear open a
sparkling Christmas present. Then, with light and joy pouring out of
Heaven like water through a broken dam, they began to shout and sing
the message that baby Jesus had been born. The world had a Savior! The
angels called it "Good News," and it was."
~Larry Libby ("The Angels Called it Good
News" in Christmas Stories for the Heart)
