Hello all~

Just wanted to wish all of you a very special holiday season and New Year.
I've appreciated very much your friendship, information, support, and
encouragement.

I leave you with the very first Christmas greeting, from nearly 2,000 years
ago:

Luke 2:
10* And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11* For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.

And a lesser-known stanza from the Christmas hymn, "O Little Town of
Bethlehem":

How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

Sincerely,
Barbara H.
