It is time for me to share my Christmas poem, If you have already seen it, read it over LOL LOL
Tis Christmas
The joy of Christmas isn’t under the tree
It isn’t the gifts you bought for me
Not even the dinner grand on the table
But of a babe born in a cold stable
It’s not the new car you’ve hidden outside
Nor is it the new bike your child will soon ride
It isn’t the family and friends that come in
Not even the lottery someone might win
Christmas doesn’t come wrapped in a box
The dresses, the clothes, or brand new sox
It’s not a new dolly or shinny new ring
But the promise we have in the new born
It’s about the babe wrapped in a manger
Who wise men would warn of His great danger
The shepherds would see by the brightest of light
The truth foretold in the stable that night
Of a King who would save us from all of our sin
Would give us promise of new live within
Whose life would be mocked, hated with scorn
Many would love Him! In His death they would morn
For through our salvation, heaven we’ll see
A mansion awaiting for us to there will be
With Christ in our hearts, there’s freedom forever
A bond with a King whom no man could sever
Christmas isn’t how much money you’ll get
It’s not the bigger or better present you’ve set
It’s not the getting and giving on this day
But accepting Christ’s love in each and every way
Singing, praying and uplifting the heart
Sharing with others is all but a start
It’s not the relationships you cannot mend
But salvation for all is what counts in the end
As you get together with family this day
With joyous tidings and gifts on display
Remember the reason Jesus was born
In a cold lowly stable that first Christmas morn.
