Bless the new Angels in Heaven............
Protect their loved ones here on earth...






















Twas’ eleven days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven’s gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.

They were filled with such joy, they didn’t know what to say.
They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“Where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
“This is heaven.” declared a small boy. “we’re spending Christmas at God’s house.”

When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.

And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.

And as if He could read all the questions she had
he gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
Then He looked down on earth, the world far below
he saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe

Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!”
“may this country be delivered from the hands of fools”
“I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!”

Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
“come now my children, let me show you around.”
Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.

And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
“in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT.”

(Amen) 


I found this at a message board* no author.......
It is so beautiful that I had to share it.....

These are just a sample of the hundreds of Samplers* that I have designed since 1998*(no website then).  I have gone to some Blogs and seen the many sampler stitchers there are out there!  I love it!
I have loved samplers for many years, the traditional types*.  I didn't even design other types of designs until much later.
You can view all the others at my group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OakHavenDesigns/

Hiya Stitchers!!!
WOW....the days are moving so quickly since it cooled down in Georgia!!!  Although there are those up north that were punched by Hurricane Sandy.  I feel sooooo very bad for all that lost their possessions and loves of the ones that died....Prayers have been up in Georgia.

Always count your Blessings.......................

I have done a little Thanksgiving design for those of you here in the US.  Canadians may find this a treat, too!!
