Santa Came To Bethlehem ~*Marge Tindal*~ Santa came to Bethlehem, following a star that rose. He was very curious, as it outshined Rudolph's nose. As he landed on the stable roof, the reindeer were prancing on each little hoof. Down from the sleigh he quickly came, greeted by Three Wise Men calling his name. Santa wanted to know what gifts they brought. This was his job, or so he thought ! Entering the stable he stopped in wonder at the Babe lying in the manger in deepest of slumber. Santa fell to his knees in prayer of blessings. He knew who this was, there was no more guessing. He humbly removed his hat, bowed his balding head, paid homage to the Babe in the manger bed. The Babe awoke and smiled His smile. Of dimpled cheek this Blessed Child. Santa arose from bended knee, said, 'This Babe, this Babe, I just had to see.' Knowing the greatest gift of Eternal Life lay in a manger birthed on this night~ All the gifts that Santa might give pale in comparison to this Babe that now lives. He jumped in his sleigh with new joy as he departed. Away he flew to finish what he started. But, I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight, 'Happy Birthday Jesus, there's great joy tonight !' ~*~ Merry CHRISTmas to all of you Re-posted in celebration of the real meaning of CHRISTmas~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

I agree - bravo- Hugs - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
