Verses from Karen Maree Canavan |

Karen
Maree Canavan was born in the small country town of Ultima,
Victoria, Australia in 1960. She has always had a love of poetry
and at the most difficult times of her life the only way she
could express her feelings, especially about others, was through
words written down on paper and mostly only ever seen by herself.
Karen, a Catholic mother of five young children feels that her
verses are a special gift from Our Lord and at most times she
just picks up the pen and writes straight from the heart with
no thought of what the next line may be. Karen hopes by sharing
some of her heartfelt thoughts someone else may find comfort
in their time of need. She wishes to thank her family and friends
for their persistence in continually encouraging her to make
public some of her writings so others may be touched as they
were. |

This
specially commissioned Christmas card is an inspirational story
about the wonder of the Christmas season, revealing the true
gift of the Christ Child and the gift of the one you love. Beautifully
presented in calligraphy, the story reads as follows:
The Miracle of Christmas is not
in the gifts we give or receive, but in the laughter shared,
the hands held, the hugs exchanged, the special words spoken.
These are what we remember long after the day has passed, the
presents opened, the tree stored away for another year.
It is a day for remembering our Saviour
was born to bring joy and life to our world, for remembering
those we love who are now at God’s side, for remembering those
who hold a special place in our heart. It is the anniversary
of a miracle, God’s gift to us of peace, of joy, of hope. We
are, each of us, a miracle, born with gifts to share with those
around us, as Jesus did when he was among us.
Your gift is your way with people, your
way of making others feel they truly are important. To be able
to share a gift such as that is the true Miracle of Christmas.
Your gift to me is our sharing of this day, the memories I will
have when I close my eyes on Christmas night and my thoughts
are of the day just passed.
My gift to you I cannot buy, nor wrap,
nor send, for it is my Love.

This
beautiful and inspirational card is truly a special gift for
a close friend. It expresses not only how valuable your life
is, but also how valuable your friendship has been. The verse
is given as follows:
If I had my life to begin again I would not wish to change the
world nor be remembered by millions for something I may have
done.
If I had my life to begin again I would try to live my dreams
without fear of failure,
I would try to give love without fear of rejection,
I would try to accept others without judgement,
I would reach out to hold a trembling hand more often,
I would take more time to see the beauty that surrounds me,
I would gently dry the tears upon the face of a troubled friend,
I would try to listen more with my heart.
Thank you for these gifts you have given me.
If I had my life to live again I would choose you as my friend,
I would chose you to love.

Specially
for your well loved grandmother, this beautifully presented
full-colour card or A4-size picture has a very meaningful
verse about how special and dear our grandmothers are to
us. A wonderful gift! The story is as follows:
There’s
nothing quite like a Grandmother’s touch.
Nor as special as her gentle smile.
She doesn’t ask much, just a little of your time,
Just to sit, maybe talk for a while.
There’s nothing quite like a Grandmother’s touch,
As her memories, with you, she will share.
As you talk of times past, and those yet to be,
You silently pray, she will always be there.
There’s nothing quite like a Grandmother’s touch,
Through her faith is borne a great love,
Of her family, her friends, those by her side.
She is your gift from the Lord above.
Though her feet may be weary from the distance she’s travelled,
Her life is truly blessed by so much.
She thanks God each day for you in her life,
As you thank God for your Grandmother’s touch.
