Second Sunday of Advent - Peace

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
-- Micah 5:2, KJV

Aslan is on the move.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
-- Isaiah 26:8, KJV;

And

"The Spell Begins to Break"
The reason for that reassurance is that the sledge is Father Christmas' who, with the Witch's spell losing power, is finally able to enter Narnia. He comes bearing gifts for the fugitives: a sword and shield for Peter, a bow and quiver and a hunting horn for Susan, a dagger and a vial of magic cordial that can immediately heal any injury for Lucy.

-- C.S. Lewis "Chapter 10. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe"

A very Merry Christmast to you, too!

Let us then, receive the gifts of Father Christmas of Narnia not as toys, but tools use to fullfil His plan.

Like the children in Narnia, you and I are partners in salvation (armor to protect, prayer to call, and balm for the healing of hurts).

I love your new seasonal template.

If you recall, Carol, we both agreed my attempt with the Yosemite blog template was more trouble than it was worth. So I thought a less ambitious blog template should be the goal for the holiday look. The outcome was quite nice, I think. And I am glad it met your approval.
