3 Making Memories Page 3 of 5 December 2016 (can be recited or song) O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining. It is the night of the dear Savior s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared, and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine! O night when Christ was born; O night, divine! O night, O night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friend. He knows our need; our weakness is no stranger. Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother. And in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!

5 Making Memories Page 5 of 5 March, 2017 The Moon By Robert Louis Stevenson The moon has a face like the clock in the hall; She shines on thieves on the garden wall, On streets and fields and harbour quays*, And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse, The howling dog by the door of the house, The bat that lies in bed at noon, All love to be out by the light of the moon. But all of the things that belong to the day Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; And flowers and children close their eyes Till up in the morning the sun shall arise. *Please note that quays is pronounced keys April, 2017 Quote from longer speech by Ronald Reagan, October 27, 1964: You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well, I d like to suggest there is not such a thing as a left or right. There s only an up or down: up, man s old, aged dream, the ultimate in individual consistent with law and order; or down, to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.. You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
