Holy is the One who came
To save us from our sins.
God gave to us His greatest gift
To help us make amends.
He sent His Son to die for us
And gave us life eternal.
He helps us deal with obstacles
Because He is paternal.
On Christmas Day we honor Christ
For all He did for us,
And when we give we can
extend
The gifts of blessedness.

EVERLASTING LOVE
O Love that holds me steadfast,
Even when my will is strong,
Who forgives my sinful past,
Found on Pinterest on 3-18-16. Easter Resurrection Greeting Card. Robyn Stacey.
And fills me with His song.
O Love that raises me from death
And cleanses my soul from sin.
Christ renews my every breath
And leaves His light within.

A Light, Christ, God, going home, Holy Spirit, indulgy.com., Pinterest photo-Purple Meteor, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema.
There is a Light, a soft Light,
Much brighter than the sun,
And it is now available
For you and every one.
No need to fear the darkness

Or getting lost some day,
For God will light the path
That will take you home to stay.
All you have to do now
Is let the Light come in.
Accept the Holy Spirit,
And let God be your friend.
When your life is over
And you want to go home,
A soft Light will guide you
And you’ll never be alone.

Christmas is a very special time of the year for me. I’ll be seeing my son and his partner on Christmas, and the scene above reminds me of the happiness I will have. The scene invites me to remember all the joy the season brings: being with the people I love, sitting before a blazing fire, enjoying the good food my son makes, and making Christmas dinner with him. His house is always cheerfully decorated at Christmas. I often meet his friends and neighbors that stop by. We have a wonderful heart warming time.
I love Christmas. It reminds me of the greatest gift given to mankind, God’s Son, and all the promises that are a part of that when we accept God’s gift. A manger was part of my decorations on Christmas: a hand-made stable made of lumber and tree bark and the many life like figurines I placed around the manger. As I grew older, the tree became harder to get up, but I always put out my manger and the figurines, given to me each Christmas from my son.

I love the smell of pine trees and firs in the air as well as cedars. We had a live tree in our house until I found out my son and I were both allergic to it. How glorious the smell was though. There is nothing like it. We would decorate the tree, and the miniature lights were the best part. I would put out all the decorations he had made. It was such a lovely sight. I have an audiotape of a Christmas, long ago, of him waking up, and the sound of his laughter as his shoes hit the floor and him running for the Christmas tree. So many precious memories I still see and hear around this time of the year. As you grow old, these memories enrich your days and remind you of the most important things in life.
My son was born in December. He was the only baby born around Christmas at the hospital. The following photo reminds me of that Christmas. He was the dearest gift I ever received.

I hope this Christmas will be a happy one for you, and that the days ahead in the new year will hold wonderful memories for you and your loved ones. Best wishes for the Holidays.

Being human., Christ, Feeling loneliness., Feeling pain., Pinterest picture., poetry by Yu/stan/kema
Found on Pinterest on 9-20-15.
I wonder if Christ
Ever felt alone
When He was with
A group of friends?
Did He ever feel
There was no one
Who understood
The anguish He felt
About having to face
Death without God?
Did He feel there was
A place He could go
Where He could be Himself
And feel the pain
Of never being comforted
By those who were His friends?
Did He ever doubt
His purpose in life,
Or lose hope
When others hated Him?
Did He feel depressed
When others made fun
And made Him wear a crown
Of thorns upon His head?
Did He feel lost
Or have a sense
Of helplessness
When He realized the cost
Salvation would bring?
Did He ever wish He could
Just be Human for a while
And feel the pain with in
Such a solitary life?

Rise up, Spirit
And shine.
Do not be
Hesitant
To go
And touch
Lives of sorrow.
For mankind
Is in need of
Love,
And Hope
For tomorrow,
From Christ,
The Divine.
