Easter morn with lilies fair
Fills the church with perfumes rare,
As their clouds of incense rise,
Sweetest offerings to the skies.
Stately lilies pure and white
Flooding darkness with their light,
Bloom and sorrow drifts away,
On this holy hallow’d day.
Easter Lilies bending low
in the golden afterglow,
Bear a message from the sod
To the heavenly towers of God.

Oh, Christmas Tree!
December 7, 2011
Recently, we joined The Happy Little Family for a fun-filled day of Christmas activities!
We began the day with beautiful music at Peachtree Christian Church as the Sanctuary Choir, select soloists and members of the Atlanta Symphony presented Handel’s Messiah.
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His Name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God; the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Gigi’s Photo with Santa at the gracious and beautifully decorated Rhodes Hall was next…

Our 2011 Blessing
Lord,
Thank you for this Thanksgiving Day. Thank you for all the many, many blessings you bestow on us each and every day. Thank you for the little things we over look from day to day. Lord, we pray you feed the ones today less fortunate. Draw up real close to them and let them know how very precious you are. We pray Lord, for the ones who are down and out today. Lord, put your loving arms around them and draw them up close to you and show them your love. Thank you for each one around this table, Lord, and thank you Lord for the ones who prepared this food. In your loving name.
Amen
