the list(s)

January has arrived!

Snow-cember.

 

If you were to Google the word “snow” (especially today) you would find our city in the drop down toolbar.

The New York Times, Huffington Post, Newsweek and Times are all writing about us.

Swaddling Clothes

The Bible says

that Mary wrapped

her babe in swaddling clothes –

strips of cloth

wound ’round and ’round

his shoulders to his toes.

This makes me think of Christmas gifts

kids often get from grandmas,

but we don’t call them swaddling clothes

we call ’em flannel pajamas.

 

 

Do you have fond memories of  the night of Christ’s birth?

hugs n’ blessing to all of you who do & may you sleep tight!

 

“She brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes…” Luke2:7
