Merry Christmas!

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,

because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor,

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn;

to grant to those who mourn in Zion -- 

to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness instead of mourning,

the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;

that they may be called oaks of righteousness

the planting of the LORD, 

that he may be glorified."

Isaiah 61:1-3

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!!
