Christmas Gift Retold

In our Country Thanksgiving is the start,
Of Christmas seasons journey of the heart.
We give thanks to our Creator for all the blessings bestowed.
To the wise the truth of the greatest gift unfolds,
Jesus birth to the one wise
Is a window of opportunity to open the heart’s eyes.
The utter beauty of a love so grand,
Is as hard as it is easy to understand.
God so loved the world He sent His Son,
To be born of a virgin to die a sinful, painful, death for everyone.
This love could and would be grasped by many, but shunned by many too.
But the beauty of God’s gift is each year its retold and delivered again to me and you.
Gifts are exchanged and goodwill expressed to one another,
Families are drawn together to their love rediscover,
Trees are lit in colors bright to behold,
And an angel or star placed high to lead to the joys that under the tree unfolds.
But the wise still remember why they have this day of celebration,
That Jesus is the reason for the season.
Lift up oh heart in praise at a love so grand,
That even the unbelievers celebrate what they don’t yet understand.
