It's Christmas

Its Christmas time again and the bustle is on , cleaning the house, bring out the new stuff A touch of paint over there, I’m almost done, The lights are up, tree fully decorated, My place is decked out !! In the early Christmas morn, the gifts I lay beneath the tree, Everything is in place……Ohhhh, what a beautiful sight to see! Now retired to bed, pleased as could be He spoke - and it caused me to look at the thing I did not see I’ve cleaned and prepared my house for the day In the midst of this, have I done the same with life in any way? The scripture rang loudly in the blanket of the quite morn- “A child is born and a Son is given”- am I ready to receive this gift that’s given? All the lights I’ve hung, He’s the light of the world The ornaments on the tree, He’s so precious to me This tree that stands in my hall so tall Upon a tree he hung, offered vinegar mingled with gall…… My responsibility right now, is share what’s been offered to me If you did not have lights or decorated a tree, Could not buy a gift, or just didn’t know the story… Jesus is the gift that’s waiting for you Yes, you can receive Him, its long overdue Just open up your heart, he’ll make it brand new Take a moment to ponder- Christmas is celebrating what Jesus has done for you !!! Merry Christmas!!! 12/15/11 revisited 12/17/12 sh
