This week, until 29 November, Kevin Mayhew Ltd are offering 10 per cent off my book Touching the Seasons, normally selling at £7.99. That means a saving of 80 pence using the code THESEASONS10 when ordering the title from the company’s website. Just type the code into the relevant box at the online checkout between the dates given.
Meanwhile, here’s the fourth of the sessions I’ll be posting this week from the book, to run alongside this promotion.
The Christmas lights
It was a pleasing spectacle,
the display bringing some welcome sparkle
to the drab days of winter,
dispelling the darkness and lifting the spirit.
But they were soon gone,
taken down once Christmas was over
and packed away for another year.
Open my heart, Lord, to the radiance of your love,
the light that shone in the birth of your Son
and that continues to shine today,
nothing able to overcome it.
Help me to glimpse afresh
the true romance of this season,
the full wonder and beauty of it all,
able to shed light in my heart not just at Christmas
but each moment of every day.
Amen.
