On Angel's Wings

I wonder what they are whispering about, these lovely little cherubs with notes and an almost Valentine look? But pin and even light blue are very much Victorian colors, I found a lot of ornaments for the Christmas tree, along with the scarlets, and purples, reds and gold.

This would be a cute card to sent to a sister, or daughter, even a friend. It would be a special way to say Happy New Year 2020. And it may very well be over a hundred years old. Some things are just timeless and priceless.

Are you ready to ring in a New Year, and 2020 at that. I thought I would round out the year with some angel postcards, and then decide on how to best use the blog in the New Year.

Have a safe an enjoyable rest of the holiday season, and leave a comment if you like. Happy New Year!

One last angel, I hope you had a Merry Christmas.

What a lovely Merry Christmas Angel, floating easily over a candle lit tree, two tiny little cherubs in the background. I want to wish all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, it would be a glorious time for the Lord to return.

That is lovely sentiment, this card is being used on items for sale. What a lot of people have failed to realize is the holiness of Christmas. Imagine, God turning His back on His only Son, having watch HIm grow from a baby and allowing Him to take all that abuse and torture to save unworthy and unthankful people.

But the thoughts of the ones who would believe kept Him going and He endured until He had won the victory for us, so as we begin to celebrate on Christmas Eve, let us always remember the holiness of the sacrifice the Lord made for us and the He is our greatest and most precious gift as believers.

Let me wish you a holy and happy Christmas in Jesus name.

This is one of my favorite Christmas cards a lovely little cherub with blonde hair and curls carrying toys in her gown. She appears to be placing them under the Christmas tree that is behind  rich red and probably velvet curtains with golden cords and tassels,

The phrase Frohliche Weihnacten is at the bottom. It is translated Merry Christmas in German.  But it is a truly beautiful example of the artistry of post cards and Victorian Christmas scenes.

I lightened this old card a little, I suppose that is Greek, I don’t know lot even doing word studies. This is a lovely trio of angels one kneeling in front of the others, all with hands clasped in prayer of praise, celebrating Christmas. What  Ido know about Greek is not to get upset over Xmas, many people still do.

It was often written that way to fit in store windows and people who did not know were offended but it is not taking Christ out of Christmas at all, the Greek letter chi or perhaps kai in pronunciation is the first let of Christos. You just can’t take Christ out of Christmas or Christ’s Mass, can you.

No amount of commercialism or oppression will ever move Him out of the celebration of His birth in the hearts of believers. I pray you have a blessed Christmas.

Today’s Christmas card is a vintage image of Mary and Joseph on their way home from Bethlehem, she has Jesus in her arms and an angel is watching over them keeping them safe. We know from the Word, that they returned but Joseph was warned in a dream to flee with them to Egypt, because Herod wanted to kill the Messiah.

Jesus was visited by wise men and shepherds, sometime from birth until perhaps close to two years of age because that is what order stated the murder of baby boys up to two years old. Jesus would later return after another dream that Herod had died. We are not sure of what happened until He was twelve, and returned and was lost and found teaching the sages.

Another lovely nativity scene for our Christmas card of the day. Aren’t the robes stunning and bright colors. Two lovely angels watch over the Holy Family, and interestly Joseph’s staff has budded like Aaron’s rod which is the Ark of the Covenant, Jesus is our Ark. The Ten Commandments and manna from heaven are also there.

Jesus is our Bread from Heaven and of life, he taught us to pray each day for our daily bread. We have as much of Him as we need each day. But He fulfilled the Ten Commandments, and gave us a new one, to love God and one another like He loves. Poor Uzzah touched the Ark and died. We can touch Jesus and live.

The miracle and symbol of Aaron’s rod is in Numbers 17:8, it was laid aside and dry but brought forth fruit, almonds, a symbol of the permanent Levitical priesthood, and we know from Hebrews Jesus is now our High Priest forever.

This lovely angel has found some new friends as she has shown up like so many others with three new dolls. Like so many angels we have found from, the Victorian Era, she is a gift giver at Christmas. I often wonder what kind of duties angels have, I have even written some poetry, but never one about bringing presents at Christmas.

I’m sure they do in many ways. God has a lot of angels and He can charge them with anything He wants them to do, I know He is charging them with assignments right now, bringing children in need and the ones who already blessed and all of us a joyous and very Merry Christmas.
