Christmas Love

The Christmas season is about being with family...

And family is all about sharing love.

Each day, it is Jesus, who teaches us how.

He is our reason for celebrating Christmas,

Our Lord and Savior who reigns up above...

During that cold night that Mary and Joseph traveled to the inn,

they knew in their hearts, that something wonderful was about to begin.

The angels that they heard on high,

sang glorious songs from the heaven sky

As the time seemed to pass,

It was baby Jesus's cry that Mary and Joseph heard at last.

Joyful cries of halleluiahs were heard from all around.

As the new Babe of Bethlehem was born,

We would learn that it was He who would wear the crown.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year,

as it is the day that we celebrate the birth of Christ.

Not only do we send good cheer,

But we spread the message, about the love of Jesus and why we are here.

Each Christmas, the smile we see upon a child's face,

remind us of that special gift of life that Jesus has granted us.

He is the reason that we get to spend Christmas

with the ones whom we love and make us feel safe.

The colorfully-wrapped presents that have been placed under the family tree

are reminders of the gifts that the wise-men brought to baby Jesus on the night he was born.

While it is a tradition to exchange gifts with our friends and family,

There is no better gift this Christmas,

than knowing that Jesus loves you and me.
