Every Christmas, for as long as I can remember my heart has been touched by The Wonderful Window by Beth Vardon, illustrated by Charlot Byj. I believe it was written in the 50's and I would likely have received it for Christmas sometime in the 60's. It's no longer in print so I hope I'm not violating any copyright laws by sharing it with you. As soon as the patchwork was tacked into place The angel came in with a smile on his face. And both he and Katie got down on their knees, Praying: Lord, could you spare one small miracle -- please? That night, all the people who happened to pass Saw a wonderful window of glistening glass! And the light from the candles was shining inside On the angel and Katie -- both beaming with pride. (Just take a look now, while the happy choir sings...You'll see -- even Katie --- has almost got wings!)
No less than a perfect day as far as I'm concerned! Good balance of work and play.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't really thought about that. You're right!
