Tonight

Sometimes things in this world are so sad and so joyful I think my heart will break.

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or
weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who
sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless
the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the
joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen. Book of Common Prayer

Love came down at Christmas; Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Stars and angels gave the sign.

Have a blessed Sunday!

It is 26 degrees and snowed here today and I am again wishing I was at North Myrtle Beach. Oh, and I ordered a new camera, a Nikon D80, and cannot wait till it arrives. I really hope it takes better pictures than this one. Of course, it could be the photographer and not the camera at all, at all!
