If I look for the image of God in each person I see, how differently will I see them? How will I treat them? How much more will I love them?
If we could see in each other what Jesus sees in each of us, how differently would we treat one another?

Seek this Jesus whose mercies never cease; Come unto Christ, and find in him eternal peace.

Words by Sally DeFord; Music by Katherine Wright. This lullaby is my Christmas Card Carol for 2021.
Is there room in my heart, or is every chamber full?
We are built upon the Rock of our Redeemer; Built upon the cornerstone of Christ.
Sing, for God, who loves us well, sends His Son on earth to dwell: God with us, Emmanuel, in a manger bed.
So shall we stand despite our weakness; So shall our strength be strength enough; We bring our hearts to thee in meekness; Lord, wilt thou bind them in thy love?
By night and by day, Uphold them I pray, Keep them safe in thy loving arms
In the Master’s voice, they heard the power that framed the heavens; The peace that stilled the tempest; The love that saves us all.
