The Last Three

Here are the last three blessings to be posted here for you.

May peace and plenty be the first
To lift the latch to your door,
And happiness be guided to your home
By the candle of Christmas.

Then:

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

And:

A Wedding Prayer

By the power that Christ brought from heaven,
mayst thou love me.
As the sun follows its course,
mayst thou follow me.
As light to the eye,
as bread to the hungry,
as joy to the heart,
may thy presence be with me,
oh one that I love,
'til death comes to part us asunder.

We have come to a small stumbling block in the telling of the story. I think it has to do with Jen being tired after the past couple weeks. She is hoping to be able to get away -- both from home physically and from work mentally -- for a few days at the end of this week. She will, of course, take her writing with her.

Thank the gods for that. I would fear she would forget what she was doing or where we were in the story itself before she got back.

Be well.
