Some Christmas Thoughts<\/strong>*
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become the sons of God. -C.S.Lewis

God\u2019s gifts put man\u2019s best dreams to shame. -Elizabeth Barrett Browning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God sent a star to light the night for The Way, The Truth, The Life\u2013His Son. He sent the Light of Life to prove His heart so we would invite His Son into our own. God has given us all the light we\u2019ll ever need to find peace on earth, goodwill to men. -Pamela F.Dowd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEACE IS .<\/em> . .<\/em><\/strong>
~ gazing at the stars with the knowledge that you know their Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ closing your eyes in sleep without fear of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ the stillness in your heart when trouble swirls around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ a quiet mind in a raging world. \u2013 unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where there is faith, there is love; Where there is love, there is peace; Where there is peace, there is God;
And where there is God; there is no need. -Leo Tolstoy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stumped for what to give this Christmas?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To your enemy . . .forgiveness. To your opponent . . .tolerance. To a friend . . . your heart. To a customer . . . service. To all men . . .charity. To every child . . . a good example. To yourself . . .respect. -Author Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n
