Christmas Joy By Jason Constantine Ford On this day, my clan is filled with mirth as we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth. Blessings of this day are enough to provide a means of putting past grudges aside. We enter the lounge room and behold a baby’s crib as our joys unfold. Mary and Joseph are standing between a baby endowed with beauty most serene. His outstretched arms are one which invite each eye to gaze on his love with pure delight. Company of angels, shepherd’s and three kings provides the feel of what true reverence brings. Each eye is paying child Jesus homage as atmosphere of love surrounds his image.
