It's from The Nativity Story. Which I just love. :)

Joseph to Mary: I don't know if I will be able to teach Him anything.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

I've never seen it. I thought Furls' av was a painting or something. I wonder if it's coming on again this season.

Very good to be around. |G

Ah, Christmas comes.

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. —Isaiah 9:6


There is Grace enwrapping me this morning. A silence, in which only sweet music sounds as I watch the snow fall. The house sighs as the holiest of all days approaches. There are Hands upon my forehead and the pain eases, my eyes begin to see in a clarity that has been clouded for some time now. And I hear His Voice whisper solace in my ear. All else quiet. Peace comes. Tis a beautiful morning. :hearts:
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

For those who haven't seen it and don't want to buy or rent it, The Nativity Story will be on TNT this weekend. :)

Heaven calls to me, the voices sing of peace. I'm downstairs this morning, watching the lights on the Christmas Tree and listening to the singing. And I remember when Stephen was here, and how he sat in the bay window, gazed out across to the treeline.

"Tracie, look...the purity of the whiteness, not a track, not a blemish mars it. The trees are still, as if accepting on to themselves the sweet peace of Heaven as it falls."

And I wrapped my arms around him and watched with him. Tears fell from his eyes unhindered.

"God always knows just how to make me weep." He whispered.

My brother's voice sings peace to me now. "Remember, Tracie? We spoke of the sweet grace as it fell. Let it fall over you. We always knew we would not be long here."

Yes, Stephen...we always knew.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
