Merry Christmas everyone!  I wish you much joy and peace on this holy day, whether your home is gayly decorated and awaiting guests, or quietly somber in the presence of sickbed or grief.

I found a fairly new and beautiful Christmas song by Shawna Belt Edwards called “He is the Gift.”

“For He is the light
that shines from the star
He is the shepherd
Watching over us all
And He is the peace
That wise men still seek
A Savior born that we might live
He is the gift.”

The rendition which follows is sung by Megan Sackett.  If yours is a quiet morning, perhaps you will find a moment to ponder these beautiful lyrics.

Welcome the child!  Welcome the child who brings that amazing gift of unconditional love to you.
