Every good and perfect gift…

God has given us so much to enjoy! As crummy as this world is ~ I try to find joy in the small things. And I try to keep my eyes on the eternal. Think what heaven will be like!! In the mean time, I’m lovin’ the awesome things that this world has to offer. Poetry. Rainbows. Twinkling stars at night. Trains. Bridges. Lighthouses. Ladybugs. Hummingbirds. Roses. Music. Good books. Food. Sunshine. The deep ocean. Green hills. Fudge. Peppermint sticks. Ireland. Long vacations. Victorian houses. Old I Love Lucy reruns. A good, clean movie. I could go on and on and on. My point? Not sure… Just felt like sharing the joy in my heart!

Just a simple Christmas poem…

Christmas is here once again~

With the bell ringers out in earnest

People scurrying about in the mall

Post office lines at least a mile long

The smell of baking pumpkin pies permeating the air

Twinkling lights hanging from the tree

Gifts wrapped in decorative paper and bright bows

Christmas movies showing non-stop on the television

Silent Night and Jingle Bells playing on the radio

The line to See’s Candies growing ever longer

It’s all this and so much more

That makes up Christmas.

But ~

The true meaning of Christmas is…

A humble birth

In a manger

Long ago, far away

To a lowly family

Called by God

To bring the Savior

To give His life

To a lost and dying world.
