Yahshua's Menorah

As darkness 
D escends and we remember all
O f the brave who fall
N o memory is stronger than the miracle 
A ll saw as Yahshua lit the Menorah
I n the Temple.

E ternal made one day’s oil
L ast for eight days toil.
O n the seventh day Yahshua celebrated.
H is families’ the Macabbees' victory.
E ach Jew sends praise and love as
I n days of old for the blessing of life 
N o man
U nderstood

E ternal love and light
C harity
H umility
A nd 
D evotion more than Yahshua

*There is no J in either the Hebrew or Greek language
Jesus would have been spelled Yahshua

You have these moments when you confront the symbols ... almost make rhapsody of faith, but dignified restraint ... yield the philosophy of light.

Deb, I enjoyed reading this very nice poem about Yahshua and the Menorah. Hebrew history and religion have always held a special place in my heart. (Since we worship the same One True God, the God of Abraham... I worship the Christ, too.) This holiday season is made delightful because of the love and heart that people share. Have a super season. Love, Dane

Wonderful poem, Debbie, and something to think about as these holidays are upon us... I submitted my holiday song in poetry.. decided to do a solemn version instead of funny just because it is a solemn time of year for renewal and gift giving and what better gift than Jesus being born or whatever other faiths believe in this time of year... hope its OK with u .. if not please let me know so I can correct early... remember CONCRETE??? blessings .. luv..
