Christmas is fast approaching, and I'm forever amazed at how the internet has changed our world and made possible things that we could never envision years ago. This blog is being read by people in the United States, Canada, Romania, Russia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, China, Germany, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia, and that simply boggles my mind! So my Christmas greeting goes to all of you, where you are in this world, and I hope that you are blessed by the God of the universe, Who loves us more than we can possible imagine! I've taken the greeting "Merry Christmas to Everyone" and created a poem from the first letter of each word. I printed this on our Christmas cards that went to family and friends, and now I send it to all of you, my readers and friends around the globe.
Mary and Joseph and a small donkey
Entering a strange and foreign place
Rely on God to guide them as they
Reach their destination, Mary
Yearning to deliver her child.
Cast into a stable, no room
Had they in the inn
Racing against time
In hopes to rest easy soon.
Silent night broken outside
To poor shepherds angels came
Making a joyful announcement
And singing praises on high
Sent by God to proclaim His Son
To save lost mankind
Out of the hands of evil.
Even as the Child was born
Vengeance was being planned
Expecting to thwart God's will.
Resting in a humble manger
Yeshua cries
Only to be comforted by Mary
New mother amazed and awed
Exclaiming her joyful praise.
Merry Christmas to all of you! Please check back after our wonderful celebration of our Lord's birth, which might turn into something extra special as it looks like we MAY get snow on Christmas day in North Carolina, which hasn't happened since 1947. May all of you enjoy your friends and family and find comfort in the knowledge that God is still in control of our seemingly chaotic world.
