Summary
Christmas greeting card-right hand opening white card. Front around the edges a lime green background on top of which at the top is some holly and a pink bow. At the bottom are two small pictures, one of a church in the snow and the other of two houses also in the snow. In the centre of the card are the words- A Christmas Letter I salute you: There is nothing I can give you which you have not got; but there is much, very, much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. There is radiance and glory in the darkness could we but see, and to see, we have only to look. I beseech you to look. And so, at this time, I greet you. Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem and with prayer that for you now and forever the day breaks, and the shadows flee away. - - FRAGIOVANNI- -1513 On the left side inside "The Lord will bless his people with peace. --" Psalm 29:11 Verse in black on right hand side May many Christmas joys be yours, With Christmas peace that long endures, And Christmas love to light and bless All the New Year with happiness !
