Receive

During this season of glitter and gold
 
Twinkling lights, Santa stories told
 
Presents and wrappings, ribbons and tags
 
Toys and new trinkets, overflowing bags
 
All of these “things” can cause us to forget
 
Giving, of course, is better than get
 
Pause for a moment, when you’re in a hurry
 
When you are rushing around, in a mad fury
 
Peace, be still, look towards the night sky
 
Think of the time, so long gone by . . .
 
When the twinkling lights were not placed on a tree
 
But a star twinkled bright, for the whole world to see
 
The Light of the World that entered that night
 
Was a perfect baby, His mother holding Him tight
 
Jesus came to the world as a baby so small
 
He came to save us, each one of us -- All
 
So, look up, look up! During this Christmas season
 
Remember Jesus, our Savior, is the real reason
 
Not baubles and bangles or presents to the ceiling
 
It is the King of Kings, who offers us healing
 
There is one time when “getting” is better than giving
 
A present given to us by the Father of all living
 
The Ultimate gift He gave us, let us learn to receive
 
The true gift of Christmas, is Christ . . . 
 
Believe!
