"Christmas Reflections"
The house is quiet once again, its time for me
to reflect. Of all the days events and happenings and what we did expect.
The presents have all been unwrapped, we all had so much fun. But this
isn't what Christmas is about, its about the birth of our Lord's Son
He was born in a manager filled with straw so many years
ago. Three wise men traveled very far by a star that shined and glowed.
They gazed upon this child so fair, to him they bestowed gold,frankincense
and myrrh. And quietly knelt beside his bed, while none of the animals
did stir
An aura surrounded this baby so fair, all knew someday
he would be King. He'd teach all the people love and kindness and peace
to the world, he would bring. His destiny was mapped out by His father
above, He tried so hard to bring peace to the land. But the people wouldn't
listen and turned on him. And on the cross, he died by their hand
Still unbelieving , he was the Son of our Lord, untill
His spirit was raised from the grave. They all dropped down to their knees
and cried, thats when they pleaded and begged. He died on the cross for
man's mortal sins. Sins of the past, present and yet to be. This babe who
was born in a manager. When a man, He died for you and me
Wishing you a wonderful season ,filled with heavenly
peace and the warmth of His presence in your heart and home, as you celebrate
this Christmas Season !!!

this year will you boldy proclaim that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior
? And that Jesus is the Reason for The Christmas Season ? Will you
be the One to stand up for your Savior, and defend His Holy name ? As you
celebrate this joyous Christmas season, be sure share the true meaning
of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with your friends, co-workers
and neighbors !!!
