We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
"Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement.
One fails forward toward success."
C. S. Lewis


"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it,
but because by it I see everything else."

C. S. Lewis




“I have come home at last!
This is my real country!
I belong here.
This is the land
I have been looking for all my life,
though I never knew it till now...
Come further up, come further in!”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”


J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring


“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

Suspenseful waiting is no more.
The presents open are revealed.
Our love expressed is from the core.
The gifts are tokens. The true is sealed.

We read accounts of Jesus' birth.
We sang Him, "Happy Birthday," too.
Nothing on Earth can match the worth
of the Joy, He brings to me and you.

The wrapping paper must be stored.
The boxes, all now empty, placed.
Each card received, up on a board.
The turkey breast we cook and baste.

All hearts prepare to start, again,
to live our lives of normal fare.
The holidays with kith and kin
are days unique, and truly rare.

To pause before the new days start,
reflecting on hushed moments' bliss,
we wipe a tear to leave and part
from this good celebration's kiss.
