December's Yalto of Praise

Celebrate
                            the focus is
                               Christmas.
                                   Emmanuel,
                                       God come down to Earth.
                                                         Messiah
                                                         God’s Son
                                                               Correlate
                                                         Savior                                        
                                                         Jesus' birth.
                                         Blessed gift
                                     from our Creator
                                God’s sacrifice for man’s
                             sin.
                        Contemplate Christ’s worth.

Reason A. Poteet December 14, 2022 at 5:14 AM The word yalto takes me to Yalta in Ukraine and the Yalta Conference, (February 1945), major World War II conference of the three chief Allied leaders—Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union—which met at Yalta in Crimea to plan the final defeat and occupation of Nazi Germany.
