Reason For The Season

R. Hamilton

The biblical event is all well documented; Though the facilities available were hardly a compliment. God was smiling from his throne up above; As he blessed a young couple with his unconditional love.

A special star would light the way; As the wise men brought gifts and marveled at the baby, asleep there on the hay. Jesus came to teach, heal, and love; But his greatest gift was access to eternal life; with his father up above.

We strive for happiness, peace, and joy; And it’s all because of the life of that special little boy. Jesus’ birth fulfilled a prophecy and provides a means for everlasting life; Though his life was not an easy one and was often filled with strife.

He paid a debt that he did not owe; So sin can be forgiven, and love will be bestowed. We are encouraged to share this wonderful gift; For his grace can be the anchor to those who are adrift.

Let’s join together and remember the reason for this holiday; And no, he doesn’t wear a red suit or have a magic sleigh. This is the time to reflect on the birth of Christ; As your thoughts and prayers are reverently enticed.

The pleasures of this Christmas morning show on children’s faces; And who could forget the joy that parents receive from the many embraces. It provides great joy to feel this way; Just don’t forget to thank Jesus, on this, His glorious day.
