Hi Sam and ALP friends, Christmas is also a time to be thankful! I am most thankful for my LORD who came and lived and gave of Himself that I might know God. May you and family have a blessed season filled with hope, joy and love. Here's a poem that I wrote and it's one of my favorite Christmas poems. I think it depicts what He was sent here to do for us. STAR CHILD A small star child fell to earth
With searing firebrand of birth,
Offered Holy innocence...
Giving souls a recompense, Cloaked in flesh...divine the choosing,
Redemption...the God-child's bruising,
Earthbound for all humanity
In time and space to set men free, Though small the star, His ember grew...
Even when darkness overthrew.
Formidable...iconoclast...
Expiation for sin at last, Star child burning into night,
Fills our hearts with heaven's light. by: Cheryl Ellen Baxter
Rejoice in His light! Blessings to All! With love, Cheryl |
