My Wishes For You This Holiday Season!
There is nothing I can give you that you have not.
But there is much that, while I cannot give, you can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our
hearts find rest in it today. Take heaven.
No peace lies in the future that is not
hidden is this present instant. Take peace.
The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take joy.
And so at this Christmas time, I greet
you with the prayer that for you, now
and forever, the day breaks and the
shadows flee away."
Fra Giovanni to a friend
Christmas, 1513

This Amazing Light Show was sent to me by a friend on My Space. It's not long so please, enjoy it until its end. The Christmas Prayer written by Fra Giovanni in 1513 has stood the test of time and is oh, so true today as it was then. This debate is open to my Allies and those once listed as Enemies. In the spirit of the season allow me to wipe the slate clean on my side and erase those entries. Despite the title you were once listed under, I have enjoyed reading all of your debates and taking part in those before you were listed as such. I want to thank each and every one of you for making these last months so very pleasurable for me in our debates and comments to one another. I have found some very good people here and many are close to my heart even though you may not know it. We have come through much together on these boards and my respect for you is unwavering. No matter what and how you celebrate this season, I wish you all what is written in the description above. It is a prayer that is quite meaningful to me and one that I now share with you. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all and as Tiny Tim once said..."God Bless Us, Every One." So, no matter what religion you are or if you're not a believer at all, may each of you be blessed in your own way. Side: Happy Holidays
