As We Finish Trimming the Christian Tree
As We Finish Trimming the Christian Tree
As we conclude this thoughtful task
About to move along with Christmas cheer.
Are we finished with this ‘Gospel’ story?
Or is there more the kids need hear?
Let’s not stop our story here
Easter time is coming fast.
That will announce this stories end
Our Saviors time ‘to save’ at last.
For though at Christmas time we cheer
The humble birth of “The King of Kings”
Most Christian folk remember well
The death of Christ this “Easter” brings.
With pieces of the Bethlehem story
Now hung upon our “Christian Tree
Our Savior’s body would also hang
For all the world’s lost souls to see.
Let’s keep these trimmings close at hand
So while others await their Easter Bunny
Dyeing eggs and munching “Peeps”
We see Easter as not the least bit funny
What we will see is God’s own plan
Written down all across the land
Preserved for us to live and learn
All carried out by His “Right” hand.
Lest I forget the exciting part
It don’t end with a ‘crucified’ preacher
For in the coming days, so many would see
Walking and talking, Jesus their teacher.
For God promised the world a Messiah
A Prophet, A Priest, A King
A Deliverer, A Savior, an Intercessor.
This Jesus would prove to be “everything”.
So if you pray before bed each night
May it be Christmas Eve or mid Easter’s Lent
Remember always to share with others
That wonderful Savior our God has sent.
And if by chance you haven’t done it.
Remember always He wants you to.
Invite Him now to rule your heart.
Time may be short. Our days be few??
Written by oldbuck as an addition to
We Trim the Christian Tree,
to encourage some thoughtful moments
into days often completely filled with Joy & Laughter.
To bring “hints” of the “rebirth” to come.
