WHAT  DOES  CHRISTMAS  MEAN  TO  YOU?

By  Dean  Beaty  12/15/07

Just what does Christmas mean to you?

Trees and lights and gifts to undo.

Family and friends not seen in awhile.

Or shepherds and angels and the child?

Some things are nice, some things are best.

Some things stand out above the rest.

The cradle and the manger stall,

To me these are the best of all.

But don’t forget just why He came.

It wasn’t for the world’s acclaim.

He came to show His love and care.                                         And on the cross our sins to bear.

For sin He made the sacrifice.

With His blood the only price.

This is why He came to earth.

Why we recall His humble birth.

Do not let gifts get in the way.

When we celebrate Christmas day.

For He’s the greatest gift to men.

From God’s own hand and He’s coming again.

Dear Dean,

Lovely, just lovely!
Thank you for your time with this.
Would you mind if I printed this to hang in my home?

Sincerely,
Heidi Stern

Dear Heidi,

We would be greatly honored that you would want to do this.

May Christ be honored in our lives this Christmas Season.

Sincerely,

Dean & Gladys Beaty

GOD’S  CHRISTMAS  GIFT

By Dean Beaty  11/22//05

Just swaddling clothes was my Savior’s dress,

That I might be clothed in His righteousness.

No room in the inn, they turned Him away.

But He has a home for all who obey.

The king was made low as part of this race,

To make us trophies of His wonderful Grace.

Only the shepherds then knew of His birth.

But His name has spread all over the earth.

The Lord gave His life that others might live.

Confess Him as Lord and He will forgive.

The world only sees a babe in a stall,

But we know Him as the great Lord of all.

God gave of Himself, the gift of His Son.

The heir of all things, the begotten one.

New life is for all who choose to believe.

That is our message on this Christmas eve.
