Photo And Senryu By Ethel_GG


Outside a Church on a cold winter's night
There is a Nativity Scene, underneath a bright light
In the cold, trying to tell a wonderful story, you see
The true meaning of Christmas it tells to you and me

Many years ago, in the Bible we're told
God sent His Son on this earth to behold
He sent Him to Mary to have as her son
She knew before He was born, this babe was Gods chosen One

As Mary and Joseph on this long journey went
She got very weary and tired carrying the One God had sent
So they tried to find a room at the inn
No rooms were left, a night in the hay they would spend

Born on that night was a little baby boy
His name was Jesus, He brought them much joy
Wrapped in swaddling clothes  was the little Christ child
And put in the manger to rest for a while

God sent angels to watch over Him
Keeping them safe was His plan for them
There came three wise men, traveling from afar
To worship the Child born, they were led by a star

This is the start as unfolds the story
Of a Saviour sent to earth from His place in Glory
The true meaning of Christmas seen on a cold winters night
The blessed Nativity Scene underneath a bright light

I've been out of the pip loop for quite a bit, but it is always a pleasure to read your creative thoughts, and to see this lovely message.  Ken

Amen
..and then we killed Him despite perfection, and He rose again to set us free. Praise God.

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this made me cry as every Christmas does knowing He lives on despite all the tears and blood He had to endure and He will always reach out to the children and the weak and powerless! (sigh) The truth of Christmas shines in your heart, sweet friend, happy holidays, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
