"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 !!!
