Praise God for this gift, and may He bless you with his love and mercy. Merry Christmas and Blessings for a Prosperous New Year!

Reason for the Season

Leaves have fallen to the ground

Signs of winter all around

Nature as we see it

has gone to sleep

soon we'll be covered in a blanket

of snow so deep

A sad thought to ponder

yet it fills me with hope and wonder

As the snow begins to fall

up go the Christmas trees so tall

Round the roof tops

lights glisten

now lend me your ear

and to my story give a listen

Long ago in a far away land

comes a story so grand

of a carpenter and virgin from

whose womb a king would come

to save the people from all they had done

and close the gap between Earth and Heaven's Kingdom

The Lord sent a message through the Angel

to a young servant girl called Mary

of a babe she'll carry

that is God's own son

to which Mary replied "My Lord's will be done."

There was no palace for this king's birth

just a lowly stable hardly measuring up to his worth

Soon after the king arrived

a group of shepherds in a field near by

were told of this amazing event

and to the stable they went

Over taken by joy of their King's arrival

the shepherds ran to tell all

for the Messiah they waited for

was just beyond the stable door

Soon after danger loomed

An angel warned Joseph of a possible doom

protect the Christ child was his quest 

and so they headed West

From the Far East three strangers saw

a gleaming star and followed in awe

to see for themselves this promised King

to their knees they fell worshiping 

as they saw their Messiah.

As this child grew he began teaching parables to the masses

and healing many lads and lasses

Every where he went he left but one command

Love one another 

Love the Father.

Though simple to say, it's so hard to do.

So many people didn't follow through

The Father was not pleased

his anger needed to be appeased

To the cross He sent his one and only Son

and promised all sins would be undone

Eternal life is given to those who believe

that when Christ was born that eve

so long ago, the promise was fulfilled

So as we come nearer to Christmas Day

the moral to the story I have told

is The Father's love will never grow old

He always forgives, even when we don't deserve.

As you begin to immerse in holiday cheer

approach the cross with fear

but remain faithful and hopeful

that our Holy God Almighty

will be there to help us through

all of this calamity.

Merry Christmas to young and old

For Jesus birth is the reason 

for this season,

and if I may be so bold

I raise my hands in Praise

to God Almighty

for the gift He gave you and me!

Forever in my heart will this gift always be!
