A better title could not have been chosen for June Cotner's
collection of holiday inspirations. You'll find 148 pages of
quotations, toasts, devotions, inspirational stories and more.
Included are classics such as Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus
and The Twelve Days of Christmas plus other carols and hymns.
Christmas Blessings belongs with your box of treasured Christmas
ornaments and decorations-to bring out each year as part of your
holiday celebration. The following poem is just one the delightful
selections included:
The Sights and Sounds of Christmas
The sound of joyful church bells
Heard from a distant hill,
A warm and cozy fireside
To chase the winter's chill.
The jingle of the sleigh bells,
A Christmas candle's glow,
The cherished celebrations
Each heart has come to know.
A child's anticipation
As he peers beneath the tree,
And finds the gift he asked for
When he sat on Santa's knee.
The sights and sounds of Christmas
Woefully will depart,
But the wondrous love of Jesus
Can remain within each heart.
~Catherine Janssen Irwin
I found Cotner's beautiful book to be inspirational as well as
a timeless resource for my personal holiday notes to family and
friends, and our family celebrations.
You can also use her book as a devotional that is read before bedtime
in the evening as a meditation or during family reading time. Christmas Blessings
a wonderful gift for teachers, pastors, friends or family.
