CHRISTMAS BELLS
|
I heard the Bells
on Christmas Day...
...their old familiar
carols play,
and wild and sweet
the words repeat
of peace on earth
good will to men.
verse taken from "Christmas Bells" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

"Christmas Morning"
"Do you remember just before you
stepped through the front door of
church, the tower bells began pealing,
and you looked up, delighted to see
wind, snow and bells swaying? It's
Christmas Morning! And it's the
feeling I wanted to convey through
this special painting."
Joni 
A diving accident in 1967 left Mrs.
Tada a quadriplegic in a wheelchair,
unable to use her hands. During two
years of rehabilitation, she spent
long months learning how to paint
with a brush between her teeth.
Her first name is recognized in many
countries of the world due to her
best-selling books, including her
autobiography Joni. World Wide Pictures'
full-length feature film JONI,
in which Mrs. Tada recreated her own life,
has been translated into numerous languages
and shown in scores of countries around the world

Note: This is a Christmas card I received last year and saved.
(I save them all..:)
When I got this out this year I decided to make a Christmas page out of it.
I became interested in learning more about Joni...so I found her
web-site and read her story.
She is a MOST REMARKABLE WOMAN!!...I have provided her link
for you to go learn more about her......
She certainly inspired in me...the true meaning of Love of Mankind,
Giving, Sharing and all the Blessings associated with this time of
year especially.
I know her story will inspire you too....I hope you visit
her site.
Love and Best Wishes
