Outside a Church
on a cold winter's night
There's 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
this earth to behold
He sent Him to Mary
to have as her son
She knew before He was born,
this babe was God's 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'd 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 winter's night
The blessed Nativity Scene,
under a bright light

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I always cry when I hear the Christmas story as it is so beautiful and can you ever imagine a year without nativity? (kiss on cheek) I dream of reading this story to my children years from now and passing the spirit of Christmas on to all (as a matter of fact, let me share with you my secret, I chose the name Mistletoe Angel here not just because I loe Christmas but because I believe Christmas should be everyday with the giving and sharing and as mistletoe is a parasite, I believe we must give and share love like its a parasite! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet firend, God Bless You, 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

Seymour, thank you very much, kind Sir.

Linda, thank you, and may God bless you and yours, too.

Noah, I've been wondering how you chose your name here. I'm
glad that you explained. That's just as special as you
are, sweet Noah. You have such a sweet heart.

Big hugs to all of you.
