Above is a Christmas picture that
Amanda made for her teacher. I
added a few embellishments
for today's post.


Robbie and I were invited to speak at a youth camp last week, led by Korean missionaries. We had two sessions with them and lots of hands-on activities. Since Robbie is South African, he can speak Afrikaans, and the kids understand a bit of English.

Colossians 3:14


Here's a beautiful Christmas
song called "Star Child"


Star Child

Star Child, earth Child, go between of God,
love Child, Christ Child, heaven's lightning rod,
This year, this year,
let the day arrive when Christmas comes
for everyone, everyone alive!
Street child, beat child, no place left to go,
hurt child, used child, no one wants to know,
This year, this year,
let the day arrive when Christmas comes
for everyone, everyone alive!
Grown child, old child, memory full of years,
sad child, lost child, story told in tears,
This year, this year,
let the day arrive when Christmas comes
for everyone, everyone alive!
Spared child, spoiled child, memory full of years,
wise child, faith child, knowing joy in store,
This year, this year,
let the day arrive when Christmas comes
for everyone, everyone alive!
Hope-for-peace Child, God's stupendous sign,
down-to-earth Child, Star of stars that shine,
This year, this year,
let the day arrive when Christmas comes
for everyone, everyone alive!
