Christmas
Postscript
As I close this greeting... I'm reminded that my Christmas tree
has called to me strongly one more year and helped me to understand
that it and its twinkling lights and shiny ornaments are so
important to Christmas... and yes, I must put the tree up and
did... long about 2:00 o'clock in the morning a few nights
ago... not long before the morning light... and in time for the
celebration of The True Light.
I wish
you that light always.
"Thanks for
sending me the next-to-last copy of the initial printing of your
book. You seem to have a very full life that offers many rewards
to you. (Of course, every life has its difficulties, but you
minimize them gracefully.) Reading it was like sitting with you
and hearing you talk to me. I'm glad I have it. Ann"
"Dear
Aunt Bernadine...thank you for Zimmie's book. It is great; she
must be a very special person. I'm sure we'll pick it up over and
over again. Its a good one for the bedside table."
"Beautifully
worded...spiritually guided."
"I spent a very quiet, late
evening with my Christmas tree and all the lights and candles
twinkling in the dark reading "Not Long Before Morning the Light." The words you have written are lovely and touched my
heart in many writings. I know I will read it again and
again."
"I couldn't wait to read the
book. I had some things I needed to do before sitting down to
read, but I caught myself picking it up and reading a page or two
between chores. Needless to say I read it all before the sunset.
It is a delightful book, and it brought back many memories for me.
Y9our sweetness, your gentleness and your caring certainly show
with every word. The Light shines through!"
"As soon as I received the
book I sat and read it through and enjoyed it immensely. I feel a
great deal of love fills your heart... your family and friends are
very fortunate."
"Thank your very much, dear
friend, for the wonderful publication of your Christmas
reflections of past years. It is truly an inspiring keepsake. We
wish for you indeed the fullness of Christmas joy, you who bring
so much joy to the lives of countless others."
"Reading your book has made
me think of my Christmas memories and traditions and how important
they are to me."
"Thank you for your book. It
was so enjoyable! I'm so proud of you and the work you do for our
Lord."
