Truly Blessed

Truly Blessed I stand at the brink of Christmas Wondering how it will be It's not just about Santa Or a decorated tree Certainly not the shopping Waiting in all those long lines It seems the Savior's Birthday Has escaped so many minds It's nice to have traditions Sipping egg nog by the fire Yet if we take a moment Our thoughts can go much higher Not just some fairy tale Like a reindeer and red nose Instead the Birth of Jesus In a manger with swaddling clothes So let us join with angels Celebrate this great event God's Son taking human form A gift that was Heaven sent Amidst all of the glitter We forget the honored guest If we welcome Him to our table The day will truly be blessed Written by Richard Lamoureux

A touching and inspiring poem. We have a breakfast cake on Christmas morning and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus with the grandkids to start the day.

Hi Richard.......this should be read at some gathering. Hey, maybe I will read it to the family around the Christmas tree and say, "Here is a poem by one of my favorite poets, Richard Lamoureux, regarding the real meaning of Christmas." :) Lovely. Soup Mail for ya

Good afternoon, Richard........It's 5:00 pm.....In about an hour I'm going out to a banquet with Hubby's colleagues who've come from all over the world for a seminar that has taken place here in the Media Center, which he is administrator of, in Beirut, Lebanon- a seminar for Adventist World Radio. :) Have a great day!
