Happy Birthday, Jesus

~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
Brilliant rays of God's White Light,
Pierce lofty clouds of brooding gray.
Lifting hopes and aspirations,
Come this merry Christmas day.

Church bells ringing ~ birds are singing,
‘Tis the time for peace and joy.
God rains blessings on His children,
~Every woman, man, girl, and boy.

Let’s gather ‘round in celebration,
~This anniversary of Jesus’ birth.
Hallelujah, “Happy Birthday”,
To Our Father's Son on Earth.
+*+*+*+*+*+



We are born of the stars,
And to the stars we shall one day return.
~ Linda L. Dowd

Lovely write, Linda.  This is the first Christmas that my boys won't be with me but in the midst of my "depression" there is still reason to celebrate as you so rightly say.
Merry Christmas, Linda.

Bunches of Honey ~

I understand your feelings. This is the first Christmas that I will not having my children for Christmas dinner. At least we are opening our presents together in the morning ~ then they are going off elsewhere. Boo Hoo. Oh well, I get to spend at least a part of the day with them.

I'll be thinking of you!

Warm understanding hug,
Linda
