By lamplight
in the early morning...
no lights...just blue bulbs and ornaments on this small "wall tree"
hanging between windows in our dining area
hanging between windows in our dining area
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December;
A magnificent thing
And sweet to remember:
"We are nearer to spring
In the dark of December;
A magnificent thing
And sweet to remember:
"We are nearer to spring
Than we were in September."
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

What a beautiful poem. It gives one hope through the cold winter! I love your tree Rebecca! I especially liked the cute cup and saucer ornament!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
I like your tree and your poem, very nice, take care, Gina
ReplyDeletelove it...I added blue this year also...since I was painting everything blue I felt I should add some to the tree
ReplyDeletelove the poem
What a pretty tree. Love the blue. That
ReplyDeletequote from Andrew Murray is one of my
favorites of his. Love the poetry too.
Sandy, Did I "steal" it (the A.M. quote) off of your blog?
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little tree, Rebecca. Blue is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteReading this short entry and looking at the pictures somehow made me homesick...for the eternal beauty of heaven.
Whenever I look at the pictures you post of your home, or of the things that catch your eye, I always appreciate that you are one woman whose love for beauty touches my heart.
Love

Fabulous! And to think no one had to have the "blues" to enjoy this particular Blue Christmas. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kathleen
Love the tree betwen the windows...I have a similar one, Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteNo, you didn't steal it off my blog. I
ReplyDeletehave another Murray quote on mine. But
I might have to steal it off of yours
now!! I could do a whole blog of nothing
but his quotes. His walk with the Lord
was so precious and it showed in all
he wrote.
Sandy, I agree!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE blue for Christmas!! How sweet is this?
ReplyDeleteCourtney, I never expected your visit to Life and Godliness! It took me awhile to "find you back"...but when I did, I thought how busy you must be if you are visiting everyone who signs up for your generous give-away!
ReplyDeleteI once had a blue tree in my dining room. Lovely, Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteLove your blue tree Rebecca, And what a beautiful poem.Thanks for sharing.
