The skies shouted it to the seas that thundered it to the waves that roared it to the great white whales that sang it to the starfish in the deep. And tiny sandpipers danced it on shining sands… “It’s time! It’s time!” On one quiet night, creation whispered a secret. Grass and bees, robins and trees all spread the word. Sheep told their young while angels sang the song to the shepherds. Hushed news of a miracle echoed to the ends of the earth. The moment had come. The long-awaited child had arrived! Creation cried out in celebration, but only a few people heard. Only a few joined nature’s chorus, a song in praise of the newborn King.
Song of the Stars: A Christmas Story by Sally Lloyd-Jones
I spent a little time over the weekend searching for book ideas for St. Nicholas Day and Christmas. While I was browsing Amazon I happened to run across another great deal on a sweet little book that our youngest received last Christmas. We actually own the hardcover edition, but right now the board book is on sale at 41% off! I ordered a couple copies to give as gifts this upcoming Christmas.
P.S. If you happen to have a Captain America fan, these men’s slippers are also a great deal with 56% off at the moment! Hopefully a certain teen of mine just skims past this post… 😉
That book looks like a great Christmas gift.
