the real meaning of christmas

two thousand years ago the king of kings was born.
the lamb of god' later made to feel the thorn,
if his words are accepted and not scorned,
they will make us all reborn.

though god's grace, joseph and mary presented
a gift to the world that day, which we can all repay,
by living the ten commandments each and every day.

try to remember and keep in your heart and mind
jesus's gospel while here on earth,
redemption not a life lived in constant mirth.
peace on earth, good will toward man
everyone should try it, whenever they can.

the lord gave us the option and choice of 'free will,'
now it's up to us to fit the bill.

so when you’re christmas shopping for family and friends,
and money is tight at both ends,
remember that the greatest gift of all,
is your love of jesus in the manger stall.

Christmas is a time for Love; a time for Joy and Peace;
A time to trim the Christmas Tree and a time to stuff the geese.
It's a time when we can come together, however far or near;
To shed a little hope into a world of sorrow and fear.
Yet Christmas could be all year 'round, if only we would try
To gently wipe an old man's brow or soothe a baby's cry.
If we could smile throughout the year as we do on Christmas Day;
Just think what happiness we'd shed along life's weary way.
To give a gift of Hope to one who otherwise has none;
To be a Friend to somebody whom everyone else has shun.
To be Forgiving of our faults, and of our sisters and our brothers;
To Live in Peace and Harmony with ourselves and with each other.
Ah, don't you see that Christmas is more than opening up the gifts;
It's more than singing Christmas Carols and rolling in big snow drifts.
It's a feeling that can stay with you throughout each day, all year;
And all it takes is a loving heart.....and a sensitive little tear...
