Day 23 - The 25 Days of Christmas

Christmas for Christ

May the Christmas Gifts remind you of God's
Gift, His only Begotten Son.

May the Christmas Candles remind you of Him 
who is "The Light of the World."

May the Christmas Tree remind you of another
tree upon which He hung for you.

May the Christmas Feast remind you of him
who said, "be of Good Cheer."

May the Christmas Bell remind you of the
Glorious Proclamation of His Birth.

May the Christmas Carols remind you of the song
the angels sang, "Glory to God in the Highest!"

May the Christmas Season remind you in every
way of Jesus Christ, Your King.

Christmas Faith

I do not try to understand the star,
Why it appeared at just that time alone
To light the path of those who traveled far.
               I only know ---
                        It shone.

My humble mind can't grasp the wondrous birth
Or why this Child should bear that Holy Name;
Whence came those choral voices, "Peace on Earth."
               I only know ---
                       He came.

I can but strive His love to understand
And seek the peace of mind His presence gives,
And day by day walk with Him hand in hand.
               Because I know ---
                       He lives!
