Yesterday was so beautiful -- I would have to be able to speak with the tongue of angels to describe all the beauty I could see out my windows! It was perfectly still---not a twig or leaf was moving as my Heavenly Father sent down the most lovely glistening snow from the heavens!
It was like a picture outside my windows with the soft, new fallen snow decorating my bushes and settling softly on the evergreen trees that line my driveway! My heart was filled with praise as I drank in the beauty all around me!
I trust your heart, likewise, will be filled with glory and delight as you meditate on the words of this lovely poem, entitled, "It's Time Again" by Vera Hoffman.
"The hills are bright with soft new snow; and in the glen a space below,
The church stands glowing in the light that creeps across the land tonight.
The footsteps through the fallen snow wind down a hill, and on they go
To stop before the great church door while organ music starts to pour
Out o'er the twilight soft and clear --- another Christmastime is here.
The steeple's gold is like a sign aflame to welcome Christmastime;
Its windows gleam in orange and blue, recalling ancient scenes we knew.
The people come from near and far, as years ago a shining star
Shown from the heavens, guiding men to the small town of Bethlehem.
Now church bells ring out clear and call to others as the shadows fall.
'Tis time to kneel and praise and sing,
Hosannas to the newborn King!"
