Today's Thought, Verse & Smile...www.thisdaysthought.org

Love came down on Christmas Day so many years ago and brought the greatest happiness the world would ever know. Peace came down on Christmas Day to fill the hearts of men with all the sweet tranquility each Christmas brings again. Joy came down on Christmas Day as angels came to earth heralding the miracle of our Messiah’s birth.

Unknown

That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”

Luke 2:8-11 The New Living Translation

Let no Pleasure tempt thee, 

no Profit allure thee, 

no Ambition corrupt thee, 

no Example sway thee, 

no Persuasion move thee, 

to do anything which thou knowest to be Evil; 

So shalt thou always live jollily: 

for a good Conscience is a continual Christmas.  

Adieu.

Benjamin Franklin
