46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.â€
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home. [Luke 1:46-46]
Christmas Jumper of the Day
Today's Christmas Jumper is worn by Olive and it is gorgeous. Red enough to signal Christmas, white enough to be gentle on the eye and pink enough to ooze feminine charm.
Cleverly composed, the layers of geometric shapes give it that Nordic feel. Yet interspersed among these are lines of hearts and silhouetted robins which give the whole garment a contemporary edge.
This is a Christmas Jumper to stand the test of time. Much like its owner.
