Dale, Candles and Rain

**********

“Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.”     Dale Evans

Advent will end next Monday, the 24th of December. That evening we will be celebrating the arrival of Jesus. We will not encounter a “heavenly host,” but in churches throughout the world there will be choirs singing His praises. Candles will “shed their light ….”

“When the Christ-child comes again

Softly down the street to-night,

Twinkling through the window pane

Let our candles shed their light.

Though the clouds are dark above

And the golden stars are dim,

We can tell Him of our love

If we set a light for Him.

Oh, the blessed Christ-child dear,

In His robe of shining white,

Let our candles give Him cheer

As He passes by to-night!”

Evaleen Stein

The snow is gone, but it’s raining again.

I may have to purchase a boat.
