There is something special about a congregational reading of those verses…thanks for sharing. I do believe that Katie has just gotten even more beautiful with age…Happy Birthday dear one! Those cookies would be sans icing if I got to them first…guess it is a good thing I am far away. And, that pear looks ethereal…very otherworldly and peaceful. Merry Christmas Donna and family and all the QLCS family here. God's blessing be with you each one. love and prayers, jep
Thank you so much for that sweet reading. My late (and very beloved) uncle used to read this at every Christmas Eve. He was a very humble and soft spoken gentleman. When he read those Bible passages, every year, all of the family members were moved to tears. Merry Christmas to all!
I love that passage! And there is something about a congregational reading that makes it come alive. Dear Katie...so little and darling.
ReplyDeleteAmazing bokeh, but the pear! Oh, it looks like an Andrew Wyeth pear (-:
Merry Christmas, dear Donna!
Love,
Di
