Comfort and joy.

Words of an old Christmas song. Words with lost meaning.

Comfort. Physical and mental. Relief from pain, anguish, despair. Warmth when frozen in the world’s coldness … acceptance and welcome when rejected.

Joy. Happiness overflows your body, makes you jump, to leap into the arms of one who loves you. Speechless, tearful, with pounding heart and good news.

The desire of our hearts for all people in 2017 with peace and love to all from people of good will.

Comfort and joy.

O, for good kings.
