"Then spoke Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me [opens his heart to me]
shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life."
~John 8:12

"Joyful All the
Nations Together Sing: Peace & Love
on Earth"
I am but a
simple, humble King.
Yet, unto me glorious
verses
Do the Herald
Angels sing.
My wealth is
not silver,
Nor is it treasured
gold ...
In fact, it
is nothing
Tangible that
one can hold.
My treasure
is instead
A gift of 'knowing'
Our Creator's
True Peace
And Unconditional
Love.
On this
joyful night,
As Angels together
do heralds sing,
A jubilant
symphony of harmony
In remembrance
of me,
Their Newborn
King ...
Born one
special night,
Long ago, in
a tiny manger,
Under a
blazing star,
In Bethlehem,
Prince of Peace & Light ...
Know that I am a legacy of Hope,
Prince of Peace & Light ...
Know that I am a legacy of Hope,
Gifted from
God above,
To reach
forth and fill this wanting Earth
With His
Eternal Peace and Love ...
[The Christmas
story is just a beginning;
For Jesus's
legacy of Hope lives on
In our world
to this day when we who hear
'The
Christmas Eve Chorus' ring
Open our
hearts to receive His Light anew.
Then we so
greatly blessed, in turn,
Venture forth, with joyful hearts,
And unto a weary world His gift impart.
Hand-in-hand
& Heart-to-heart,
Our united
Lights will brightly shine:
A reflection
of the Supreme Presence Divine.
That
together, in our own simple way,
We may simply illuminate our shared world
By spreading
the flame of God's Eternal Peace
And
Unconditional Love burning brightly in our hearts.]
United in voice, Let all the Earth
together REJOICE!
Peace on
Earth and Goodwill to all Mankind.

(Early A.M. Christmas Eve Morn ... It's late and I have yet to sleep. These words may undergo some revision after some (hopeful) sleep. God Bless!)
Merry Christmas one and ALL!! ... "Let all the Earth Rejoice," indeed!! Open your hearts and receive the Light of our Creator this Christmas Eve and Day. Then go forth and renew the face of a weary Earth with His Peace and Eternal Love. God's Blessings be with all who happen to pass this way. May you strive keep the 'Light of Christmas' alive in your hearts throughout the New Year, 2012.
Love,

P.S. I have to share that so many of my non-Christian friends have been so thoughtful in asking about what Christmas is, what it means to me, personally, and then wishing me a heartfelt "Merry Christmas" in return. The sincerity, effort and LOVE of these friends is truly heartfelt. It makes me SMILE =) from ear-to-ear and from the heart ♥ ... It gives me the greatest HOPE for this world that we all share.
