Looking For Footprints Everywhere

You can find the footprints of God

wherever there is

beauty, virtue, humility, justice,

truth, love, and peace.

So Long Old Friend

The road to a friend's house

is never long...

sometimes we just wait

too long to travel it.

The Little Messengers

Children are the living messages

we send to a time we will not see.

All Roads Lead Home

Winter is time for comfort,

for good food and warmth,

for the touch of a friendly hand

and a talk beside the fire:

it is time for home.

Edith Sitwell

The Only Way to Peace

Let there be peace on earth

and let it begin with me.

The Love of Christmas

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas

if you stop opening presents and listen.

May Peace be your gift at Christmas
and your blessing all through the year.

A Christmas Eve Wish

Bless us all with playful years

With noisy games and joyful tears

We reach for you and we stand tall

And in our prayers and dreams we ask you

Bless us all!

Christmas Light

May the brightest light

in your home tonight

shine in your children's eyes.

Kerry Boone

Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming

the goose is getting fat

Please put a penny

in the old man's hat

If you haven't got a penny

a ha' penny will do

If you haven't got a ha' penny

Then God Bless You!

Song Lyric

The Ultimate Christmas List

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list.

Amy Grant Lyrics

Still, still, still...

Still, still, still

One can hear the falling snow.

For all is hushed,

The world is sleeping,

Holy star its vigil keeping.

Still, still, still

One can hear the falling snow.

Christmas Time Is Here

Snowflakes in the air

Carols everywhere

Olden times and ancient rhymes

Of love and dreams to share
Charlie Brown Christmas Lyrics

Winter Winds

Blow, blow thou winter wind

Thou art not so unkind

As man's ingratitude.

William Shakespeare

Home For the Holidays

There's no place like home for the holidays

And no matter how far away you roam

If you want to be happy in a million ways

For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home.

Famous For Fifteen Minutes

Fame is written in ice,

and the sun will come out.

Warming Winter

One kind word

can warm three winter months.

Stopping By the Woods

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Somewhere In My Memory

Somewhere in my memory,

Christmas joys all around me,

Living in my memory,

All of the music,

All of the magic,

All of the family home here with me.

John Williams "Home Alone"

First Snow

The first fall of snow is not only an event,

it is a magical event.

You go to bed in one kind of a world

and wake up in another quite different,

and if this is not enchantment

then where is it to be found?

J.B. Priestly

Ah, The Beauty

Kindness and snow--

they beautify everything they cover.

Home Is Calling

Christmas is a time when you get homesick-

even when you're home.

How to approach life?

Joyously, always joyously.

Snow Had Fallen Snow On Snow

In the bleak midwinter

Frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron

Water like a stone

Snow had fallen snow on snow

Snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter

Long, long ago

Christina Rosetti

The Beauty of the Season

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world,

and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

is the holly that will be

on your own front door.

It all comes back...

Somehow, not only at Christmas

but all the long year through,

the joy that you give to others

is the joy that comes back to you.

Haul Out the Holly!

We need a little Christmas now!

Not Following the Flock

When everyone thinks alike,

no one thinks very much.

Pursue! Pursue!

The Constitution only guarantees

the American People the right

to pursue happiness.

You have to catch it yourself.

Laugh as much as you breathe

and love as long as you live.

and all of our future.

and all the rest is just background music.

If we don't stand up for children,

then we don't stand for much.

is a kiss from a sleeping child.

Sometimes our light goes out

but is blown into flame by another human being.

to those who have rekindled this light.

Old Proverb

I'll Be Seeing You

I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through...

I'll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

I'll be looking at the moon

But I'll be seeing you
Irving Kahal

A Fan of Cool Ceilings

Let me ask you something,

what is not art?

Given enough coffee,

I could rule the world.

And What Are We Losing?

Death is not the greatest loss in life.

The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live.
