When I ponder what this Christmas season truly means to me,
In my heart I cherish stories, it’s not just a Christmas tree.
I like the lights and ornaments and all the Christmas songs,
But I know the Christ in Christmas in my heart the whole year long,
The story of the way He came, when God arrived on earth,
A virgin in a manger on the night that she gave birth.
The angels told the shepherds tending sheep out in the field.
They were the first to hear the news, to them it was revealed,
“To you is born a Savior,” angels sang and praised His name.
The shepherds found their way that night and to the manger came,
And then they told the story of the angels and their words.
Mary treasured all these things and pondered what she heard.
The shepherds praised their God that night for all that they had seen,
Their words preserved for us to hear. We now know what they mean.
Thank you John. I love all the stories and my family Christmas memories are so special and sometimes bring a tear because things change! But it’s ok because Christ is my ALL in ALL! And He is always blessing us with new things to be grateful for!
