Why We Have Christmas- God With Us
The Rancher said,"I'll stay home and tend the fires"
as his family went to church.
He loved people was extra kind
always did good work.
He sat back in his easy chair
listened to a country song
thought about his wife and kids
how their love was strong.
He looked outside the window
the snow was falling down
he hoped his wife and kids
would make it back from town
Suddenly he heard a thump
on the picture window pane
then some more then more and more
those bumps heard strong again
He looked outside and saw a pile
of tiny little swallows
in the snow stunned and dazed
in the snow they wallowed
He raced outside and scooped some up
brought them in to warm
When they revived they'd struggle and fly
like a feathered storm
He knew these birds had lost their way
in this storm, they are lost in flight
He must find a place for them
to save them from their plight
Then he thought about the pony barn, He built
for his youngest daughter Clair
If he opened the doors and turned on the lights
The birds would fly in there
He opened the doors and turned on the light
a place of peace for these tiny birds
He tried to get them to go to the light
they ignored his motions and words
They kept on flying, hitting and dying
on the picture window pane
They could not see the real safe place
his efforts were in vain
All at once he realized if he could be a bird
He could lead them to the barn
save them and protect them
keep them from this harm
Right then the need for Jesus
came into his heart
He pledged to follow Our Savior
and always do his part.
I hope you choose Jesus to lead you to the light
So we can share His Glory where everything is right.
Comments:
This is the best example I have ever heard for why humans need Jesus.
He was and is God with us to show us the Way.
He will come again to redeem all who have chosen
to follow Him and He will take us to a place where
there is PEACE on Earth and in Heaven
