Stuck In a Christmas Globe

STUCK IN A CHRISTMAS GLOBE

In my Christmas Globe, I see a world
Where a manger scene is first unfurled
To show the birth of the Son of God
Who walks the path where angels trod

We celebrate His Birth each year 
With parades designed to create joy and cheer
But the world just doesn't seem to see
How He later suffered on a cruel tree

Without His birth, the world today
Would be in greater disarray
But through His birth there is reprieve
For everyone who decides to believe

This Child would one day die for them
A death that is so brutally grim
But death and grave could not retain
On the third day He rose to life again

Seated at the right hand of God
And walking where the angels trod
He will return to earth triumphantly
To claim those who chose to believe

And take them with Him so they can be
Alive with Him for eternity
All will be wearing a bright white robe
This is the scene from my Christmas Globe

A lovely scene for a snow globe. I once, as a child, had a dream that I could see visions of Jesus birth in the nighttime sky.

Jesus can truly be seen in many places if one just knows where to look, i.e., homeless people, veterans in need of care, broken homes, etc., and I know from your comments that you fully understand what I am talking about. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, Gordon! Yes, all is well, and I pray it is with you. The life of Christ is well worth talking about and writing about. His Second Coming is the best part.
