What Can I Give Him?
I hope you enjoy this classic poem by Christina Rossetti. It’s a favorite of mine. It is from a larger poem called In The Bleak Midwinter. It has also been made into a song! Here’s a site, SentForth.net.
What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
yet what I can I give him: give my heart.

Lighting of the Advent Candle
Our family had the sweet privilege of lighting the Advent candle at church last Sunday morning. =)
Here’s our church bulletin.
My husband read from Luke 1:46-56:
~King James Version
46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
55As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
56And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
