Rose Colored Glasses

~~~ Feast of Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist~~~

~~~ 1 John 1:1-4 ~~~ Psalm 97 ~~~ John 20:1A AND 2-8 ~~~

Beloved:

What was from the beginning,

what we have heard,

what we have seen with our eyes,

what we looked upon

and touched with our hands

concerns the Word of life —

for the life was made visible...

The Word became flesh...this is the Word of Life.

The child Jesus made visible all that life contains...

This God in human infant form is creation itself.

The Words of God brought forth the heavens and the earth

the stars, the animals, man and woman...

What Child is This?

This is the Child of all life.

This is the Child... 

who restores life to those trapped in darkness.

This is the Child...

who saves us from the grasp of evil.

This is the Child...

who brings us life eternal.

What Child is This?

This is the Child who brings forth the essence of all Life.

Without this child there is no life eternal.

John was the beloved apostle.

John loved Jesus with all of his being.

John ached with the desire to tell the 

whole world about the person of Jesus, his friend.

We are writing this so that our joy may be complete.

Once you have this Joy you will never

 be satisfied to keep it to yourself.

The joy from this Child is meant to be shared.

This joy is like seeing the world through rose colored 

glasses even if for just a few moments.

Blessed with Joy that comes from the love of a child.

This is the Babe of life and Joy.

Rejoice...rejoice...

~~~Peace~~~
