A Haven for Vee

Put Them in Columns and Leave Them Right There...

The garment of life, be it tattered and torn,
the cloak of the soldier is weathered and worn.
But what child is this that was poverty-born? The peace of Christmas Day.

The hope that has slumbered for two thousand years,
the promise that silenced a thousand fears.
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears. The peace of Christmas Day.

Add all the grief that people may bear, total the strife, the troubles and care.
Put them in columns and leave them right there. The peace of Christmas Day.

The branch that bears the bright holly, the dove that rests in yonder tree.
The light that shines for all to see, the peace of Christmas Day.
The branch that bears the bright holly, the dove that rests in yonder tree.
The light that shines for all to see, the peace of Christmas Day.


~The Peace Carol by Bob Beers

You may hear John Denver and the Muppets singing this often overlooked carol on my playlist (all the way at the bottom and *right here*). I think you'll enjoy it for the Muppets are in fine voice. ;D



That Miss Sandy @ Quill Cottage went and did it. She created such a fun craft that I had to join her in her last-minute madness. Check out what Lorrie did with this project, too...soooo adorable!

May you all have time to sit and relax this evening. We are planning a quiet time at the Haven where we'll sip warm cider and read the Christmas story and consider the wonder that Jesus was willing to come to this little planet and to each of us.

Blessings to each of you this Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day...

  8. That vintage snowflake ornament she made is so beautiful! I'll bookmark it and hopefully remember about it for next year! Thanks. I think I'm goingt to "snag" the award free button on your sidebar. I've been looking for one and so far this is the prettiest one.

  15. -Hehhhh- You know I can comment, even if you don't allow comments on an [your last] entry . :-))))

    "...in the bargain, I make the one who deeply resents my computer time happy, all the better."

    -le sigh- You know you're going to drive me crazy, don't you?
    And I know, if I let myself be driven [any more] crazy, it's my issue. I know. I know. I know.

    I wish you peaceful time... A peaceful week between Christmas and New Years, and.......... Watch for your mailman. ,-))))

    Eeeek! How could I have been so un-P.C.?!? Saying mailman. I have to say mailperson! In our *Brave New World.* -giggggggggles-

If comments disappear, please don't fret. A simple "hi" will do. The platform surely needs some maintenance.
