Today is such a special day in our lives, the celebration of the birth of Jesus so long ago. We would like to share with you a poem that a good friend wrote a few years ago. It came along with a Christmas card this year from she and her husband.
A GIFT FOR GOD
As you celebrate this Christmas,
Say a prayer to God above,
And tell Him you are grateful
For the Son He gave in love.
For the Mother who delivered
In that stable, far away;
For the Star that led the Wise Men
To the manger, where He lay.
For the Angels, singing sweetly,
"Peace on Earth, Good Will to All",
And the Shepherds who, in wonder,
Gathered 'round that cattle stall.
For our Faith, as we remember
Every year His blessed birth,
And with joy relive the story
Of the night He came to earth.
For our Families gathered 'round us,
And the Love that fills our hearts;
And that special Peace that happends
As the Christmas season starts.
Do speak to God this Christmas -
Give the gift for which He waits!
For a thankful heart's a treasure -
One that God appreciates.

We wish you a Merry Christmas
and may the peace of Christ be with you.
