His Star, still... Glows Bright! Amen.


Tis...that...time of year  

when thoughts... 

turn to Celestial...things 

when...amid visions of centuries past

Hope is gathered and...rings!

Tis that time of year

when hearts...

ensue a glance of imperishable...gates

with the reminders of a Silent Night

so received with gratitude...sate!

Tis when... 

the Joy and anticipation of celebrating

a prophesied birth...

touches here and there

and begins to seep throughout the earth 

When Peace...

like a warm blanket...

is a 'Presence' that surely can be felt

drawing those so far away...near

recalling...shepherds and kings that knelt!

Tis...

when the...Love...which gives the reason

to embrace the marvelous season...glares

and is acknowledged...miraculously...

filling...the air! 

Yes! indeed, it is here...  

Tis that...Wondrous...Time of year!   


ISAIAH 7:14 & 9:6

Thanks for sharing this. By God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy of Christmas and prosperous New Year along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

Immanuel = "God with us". When God is with us, how can we not have joy, peace, hope, and gratitude? I love this Joyce, and I look forward to reading more of your words about the Lord. God is good! Merry Christmas and a blessed new year ~ John
