a place....

You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person.

Alec Waugh

I found such a place....at dusk, tucked away in a snow covered courtyard.   A peaceful place...a sanctuary for weary souls....a place filled with hope and the sounds of young voices.  A place encircled  in soft sparkling lights  and handcrafted in the depths of winter.      A place to hide.  A place to heal.  A place to find faith..and hope..and acceptance...and peace.   A place to remember.  A place to dream.  A place to sit..or kneel...or stand...and give thanks for the gifts in your life.   Tended with love by a group of believers...a place that makes you stop...and look around.  And appreciate their efforts.  And believe.   At first soft blue light sight...I fell in love.  (and to Joe and Ken and Nathan and Jerry...and the  many children that visit each day... I thank you, for creating this magical place.  This photo doesn't do it justice.  Expect to see more!)
