Loving Father,
help us to remember
the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in
the song of the angels,
the gladness of the
shepherds, and the
worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love
all over the world.
Let kindness come with
every gift and good desires
with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the
blessing which Christ brings,
And teach us to be
merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make
us happy to be Thy children,
And the Christmas evening
bring us to our beds with
grateful thoughts, forgiving
and forgiven, for Jesus' sake.
Amen !
(Written by Robert Louis Stevenson)
May Jesus be your joy, your hope, your song, and may this Christmas and each day of the new year be directed by His guiding hand of love!

Marhaba is an Arabic word used in the Middle East as a greeting (in English Hello).
The origin of the word comes from Aramaic, the old Syrian language of Jesus Christ.
It is a combination of two words: MAR + HABA
MAR, meaning God, Lord or Master.
HABA, meaning Love.
So, Marhaba means "God is Love".
The following is the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, recited by Majida El-Roumi:
Marhaba Jacqueline
May you celebrate the love of God deep within your heart as Jesus brings new meaning to life... Joy, Hope, Peace... because His love is eternal.
May His eternal love shine upon you always!
Nabeel
It is that time of the year again,
When you are thankful for everything merry and bright.
May this Christmas be a delight!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
At the name of Jesus, ev'ry knee shall bow.
Ev'ry tongue confess Him King of glory now.
'Tis the Father's pleasure we should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
Crown Him as your captain in temptation's hour.
Let His will enfold you in its light and pow'r.
Jesus, Lord and Savior, shall return again
with His Father's glory o'er the earth to reign,
'Tis the Father's pleasure we should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
Dear Jacqueline
I thank God for His blessings,
For shelter, friends and food;
For every need He did supply
And most of all, for you.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. It's that time of the year again. Jingles, laughter, parties and celebration… to wish someone dear and close, miss someone the heart yearns… to remember the good old times, fun we had…when we dance, sing and party and get the best decorations on the tree… when Jesus rules everyone's thoughts… and you mine.
Its Christmas time again. The season of renewal, Love, faith, charity and all that is beautiful chimes greatly in to every heart beating in celebrations of Spirit, togetherness, and affirmation.
Wishing you, Jacqueline, the brightest joys of the Christmas season.
Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, Wings to the mind, Flight to the imagination, A charm to sadness And life to everything. Fine music is the essence of order And leads to all that is just and good, Of which it is the invisible, But nevertheless dazzling, passionate and eternal form. (Plato)
Love and peace to you, Jacqueline. May God bless you always. Nabeel
