God's Greatest Gift


Miracle
In one silent, sacred moment,
He joined the human race;
A tiny helpless infant
Just out of heaven’s embrace-
God’s Only Begotten,
The Messiah, Prince of Peace;
The Savior of us all
Whose love will never cease.
 
It is beyond me to express just how much the Savior means to me. Though born in such humble circumstances, He grew up to be the one and only person who could save the world...one human being, one brother, one sister at a time. He gave His all...to save us all. What deep gratitude I feel for His love, His example, His strength, His sacrifice...that I might have eternal joy and peace if I but choose to follow Him...be the receiver of His great gift.

Invitation


Come
 
Twas only after their journey-
A long and arduous one,
That Mary and Joseph were blessed
With the presence of God’s Son.
We too must take a journey
With humble and hopeful hearts,
To reach Him who’s patiently waiting
All blessings to impart.

Where Is YOURS?


Focus

Joseph, do you see them,
Those people standing near?
They have come to celebrate
Our son’s special day this year. 

They’re gathering together
So they can honor Him
To celebrate His birthday
Complete with all the trim. 

The mood here is so cheery;
The people are so kind.
They are the happiest people
You or I will ever find. 

Just look at all the gifts
They’ve brought here for our son.
It seems as if they love Him;
They know what He has done. 

He served them all so selflessly
Each day throughout the years;
He has loved and healed them
And wiped away their tears. 

He will be so honored;
This wasn’t just a whim.
Oh wait–what are they doing?
I guess they weren’t for Him.
