MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

We didn't send out Christmas cards this year (so sorry) but enjoyed receiving them:-) So, here is our virtual Christmas Card picture

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

This was taken last night at our church's Christmas Eve service. The girls were getting sleepy and not up for taking photography demands such as "smile". hahaha. Originally, this was our Christmas picture, taken yesterday morning, but I thought in 10 years Nicole would have words with me over it:-)

I want to post the lyrics of an old Christmas Carol that I'm sure you've sung before, at least a portion of it. Read the whole thing, you may never have sung the last couple of verses, which is unfortunate, it's just as good as the first.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing
written by: Charles Wesley

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King:Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies;With th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Refrain:Hark! the herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King.

Christ, by highest heav’n adored; Christ, the Everlasting Lord!Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the Virgin’s womb:Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail th’Incarnate Deity,Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.

Hail, the heav’nborn Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings.Mild he lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die,Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

Come, Desire of nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home;Rise, the woman’s conqu’ring Seed, Bruise in us the serpent’s head.Adam’s likeness now efface, Stamp Thine image in its place:Second Adam from above, Reinstate us in Thy love.
