The Work of Christmas
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and the princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among brothers,
To make music in the heart.

This is really cool Erica! I love it! Would you mind if I borrow it? I think it would be great to share with certain friends in whom I know would take it to heart. Love you and miss you!
I absolutely LOVE this! Thank you!
