Dear Rose and friends,
I must deeply apologise! I have been skipping through this wonderful sharing of talent without pausing to reflect as art calls to the heart to do.
I have not had time to stop and visit with the work of my friends in a respectful manner and there is no acceptable excuse.
That said-I am so touched by my sister Sara's work. I have only recently begun to pay attention to the many varieties of birds in my yard and vaguely sensed that I should maybe take pictures or try to identify them somehow-one more thing to do-yikes!
Every time I blink I start a project and if I have finished one I don't remember!
Thank you Sara once again for reminding me to slow down and enjoy God's creatures, they are here to bring me joy.

Hi Rose, Jenny and Venerina, this is really neat. I have made some new friends and gotten to enjoy some gorgeous artwork. I love so many of the pictures. Thanks, Stephen

Rose, Jenny, and Venerina, it looks like the Party is still going!!  Such great presentations here and you ladies should be very proud and happy for doing such a wonderful job.  Just want to join the party and invite you to keep the "Candle of Love, Candle of Light" burning.

Please post your own Candle and keep them going in all the forums for this Holiday Season!

 

 

 

Candle of Love, Candle of Light

 

Candle of Love

You lit up the sky

Candle of Light

With a lullaby

A star was lit

in the Eastern sky that night

And still in our hearts

and over our land

The Candle of love

shines bright.

 

Our praises ring

of Jesus’ birth

long ago in a land of dark

A Candle of Love was lit

For all the earth.

 

Jesus was born and

A candle in the Heavens above

Cast its warm glow

Over the Manger below

Heavenly voices joined in praise

earthly choirs Hallelujahs raise

Celebrations throughout the world

exhilaration of most high

The birth of our King and our Lord!

 

Candle of Love,

One in the hand

Spread your warmth

Throughout the land.

Candle of Light

One in the heart,

Shine bright on

this Holy Night.

 

The greatest birthday of all the world;

A candle burns for Thee

Kings, queens, saints, and lords

None of these do our hearts belong

As heavenly voices sing in praise;

And earthly choirs join in song,

to Jesus –a Wonder to amaze.

 

Candle of Love,

candle of light

Forever burn so bright.

Held in the heart.

Candle of Light

Held in the hand.

Shine bright tonight.

 

Our Praises ring

Our voices sing

Candle of Light

Shine bright tonight.

 

Burn, burn!  Your light so white

Candle of Love, Candle of light

Signify our love for Jesus

On this Holy Night.

Since this Community is worldwide, I do not want to offend anyone.  Christianity is my choice of religion.  Each person has their own choice.  All I want to do is spread Goodwill and Peace throughout the world and what better time to start than Christmas (as we call it), you may call it different names and treat it differently, which is fine.  It would be nice to all unite and light your own candle.

Thank you,

Sara
