Merry Christmas!

"O God, take me in spirit to the watchful shepherds, and enlarge my mind; let me hear good tidings of great joy, and hearing, believe, rejoice, praise, adore, my conscience bathed in an ocean of repose, my eyes uplifted to a reconciled Father! 
Place me with ox and ass, camel, and goat, to look upon my redeemer's face, and in him account myself delivered from sin. 
Let me with Simeon clasp the new-born child to my heart, embrace him with undying faith, exulting that he is mine and I am his. 

In him thou hast given me so much that heaven can give no more!"

-The Valley of Vision 

A very Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
