Path of Positivity Goes Peaceful

It is the final PoP challenge for this year, where has the time gone? This month the optional theme is Peace. This time of year is not exactly the most peaceful! With the crowded shops and the endless Christmas music blaring over the shop speakers from October (slight exaggeration!) It is easy to get caught up in the world's clamour. That is why I love Advent as a time just to stand back from it all and reflect on what Christmas is all about. That tiny baby in a cattle feed trough is the maker of the Universe. That tiny baby being held and cherished by it's mother is Lord of us all. That tiny baby smiling at the humble shepherds is the Prince of Peace. That tiny baby being worshipped by the kings is one day coming back, not as a baby but as King of Israel and ruler of the earth. Looking at the state of the world now I hope that day will not be too long in coming!

So while it may be a bit early to wish you a Happy Christmas I will instead pray for you a peaceful Advent and time to discover again the real meaning of Christmas. God bless you.

Materials used:

The verse from Silent Night is printed on printer card then cut with the die. I used the same yellow combination to go around the edge of the card blank to tie it in with the main image.
