In His Presence

I saw a brilliant star from far
away.
Descending down it stopped.
There's no way!

Somehow I knew there was a
reason why! As I looked again,
to my surprise!

There was miracle taking place!
A surreal feeling as I looked
and gazed!

The light from the star was
over a mangers stall.
As I walked toward it and 
looked at it, in awe!

When I glanced to see. I
saw a man, his wife, and a 
baby.

I asked,"Is this a place to 
bring a child?"
He said, " We had no 
choice. It will do for now."

He said," My name is Joseph,
my wife Mary and Jesus my
baby son."
I asked him, " Where are you
and Mary from?"

He answered. " We are sent
by our Loving God to bring
forth this child for all to love."
" A virgin birth my wife Mary
did bring. A special gift of
salvation, given through him."

 I quickly got on my knees,
repented, and prayed. " Oh
praise you Lord on this Special
day."

I kissed him softly on this
surreal night. Savoring this
miracle moment for all of my
life.

I said in prayer, " Your Majesty
you made the heavens and the 
stars too, and gave us everlasting
life, for believing in
you."

" I thank you father for saving
me!" I must now return  to 
Galilee."

"Mary, I will go and tell
everyone. On this special 
birth of God's holy son!"

Joseph spoke up and said,
" Noble shepherd you can't
tell anyone. King Herod 
wishes to find Jesus and
cause him harm!"

"Joseph and Mary I will go
in peace. Never to say anything
that was revealed to me."

Joseph said, "Thank you,
you're a noble shepherd. Mary 
and I thank you once again."
"Your welcome my friends,
now I must go. My sheep I
must tend."

"The joy and splendor of what
I had seen! Brought tears of 
love, for my beloved King!"   

      A noble shepherd.

* Special note. Christmas is about Jesus's
birth. We celebrate God's precious gift that
was tortured and killed sacrificed for our sins
to avoid us from eternal punishment. 
Salvation is given free by you accepting him
as your Lord God, believing he died for your 
sins, and repenting of your sins. If you do 
that you will have everlasting life in peace.
God bless you all and please remember the
reason for the season. Thank You...
