I know; barely November, but we will be at our first pre-Christmas fair on Sunday. Thankful for the booking as the only alternative venue that day was a car boot sale on a sports field and in the present wild , wet and windy weather.. We would have done it; make no mistake on that score. With hundreds of babies and children whose only hope of life is from us? What is rain and wind against such need?
And we long to give these wee ones a taste of Christmas, as we do for our homeless ones. So now we are gathering in and seeking to work to that.
"Christmas is coming.. the geese are getting fat... Please to put a penny in the old man's hat.. If you haven't got a penny, halfpenny will do...If you haven't got a halfpenny, God bless you!"
It is a good carol is that! Understands real poverty....
So a reminder that we have our own beautiful Christmas Keepsake book.. Well over 300 pages and sweet and wholesome and reassuring as Jesus Himself.
On sale from us, signed and with a bookmark, at E15
And we have angels and snowflakes; hand crocheted and silver and gold trimmed, at E2.50 each or five for E10.
We always tell people at our markets that that small cost of E2.50 will feed a baby in India for three days..
It is easy to order and our mail service is fast and efficient.. email us at anchoresscj at yahoo dot com saying what you wish to order. We will let you know what the cost is in $$$ or sterling, add the shiping cost and mail you back.. and as soon as your cheque.. in your currency of course , arrives here, we will post your order.
This is a well tried system and works perfectly.
Please, help us to help these fragile ones who have done no harm and whose need is so total; as the needs of Jesus in the manger.
Blessings and peace from sodden Ireland, where rain has not stopped for many days now. Visible weather sweeping in across the fields..
