Every Valley
taken from Isaiah 40 :4 put to music by George Frederic Handel
from Handel's Messiah
from Handel's Messiah
Every valley shall be exalted,
And every mountain and hill made low,
The crooked straight,
And the rough places plain.

My Corner at Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at My Corner...
My tree with yo-yo ornaments.
Both of these decorations are new. The mini gingerbread houses were found at Target on way sale after Christmas. You just can't beat 20¢ for each one of these adorable things. I snatched up every single one they had left. The trees: 2 dollars and something at Marshalls.
Another new decoration is my Pohnpeian angel given to me by my friend Jo who was fortunate enough to be able to take a trip to the Micronesian island this summer. Thanks Jo!

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
words by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.”
Their old familiar carols play,

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.”

“Suddenly there was with the angel a great company of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:13-14
