I assume some of you are overwhelmed by Christmas preparations and family visits and Christmas programs, so I want to share a poem I came across many years ago, one that encourages me every time I read it. It’s by Ruth Bell Graham…
God Rest You Merry
“God rest you merry, gentlemen…”
and in these pressured days
I, too, would seek to be so blessed
by Him, who still conveys
His merriment, along with rest.
So I would beg, on tired knees,
“God rest me merry,
please…”
A very Merry Christmas and a blessed 2019.
That was a great story, Jan. I hope you’ll put the chapters together in a book someday with short stories.
Thanks, Carolyn. It’s in the queue!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
What a lovely thought and poem, Janice. Yes, may God rest us merry. . . Amen!.Thanks.
Blessed Christmas to you, Sharon.
