Christmas has passed but the Light does not. May it never go out in my life. May it never go out in yours.
THE LIGHT HAS COME
The Light has come
for Christ was born.
He came to earth
to face men’s scorn.
The Light has come,
in manger laid.
His life poured out–
the price is paid.
The Light has come
to lift our souls
from darkness’ hold
to make us whole.
The Light has come.
He died, now lives.
He’s ransomed me.
True life He gives.

THIS CHILD OF GRACE
This Child of Grace of Christmas fame
was sent to us who fail at life,
who struggle to find peace and hope,
but spend our lives in sin and strife.
This Child of Grace, one sent from God
for love of men who do not know
that through His grace this Child gives hope,
that life with peace from Him could grow.
This Child of Grace, the perfect One,
this Child of Grace, the worthy One,
who left His throne in heaven above—
this Child of Grace, God’s only Son.

WHO IS THIS JESUS?
Who is this Jesus, He who came
to earth from heav’n in human garb,
proclaimed Himself as one with God,
and died for men. Against men’s barbs
of unbelief, He called himself,
“I am”—the name of God, the One
Creator God who made all things
that now exist. He is the Son,
and He is God who rules all things.
When time is done, His righteousness
will rule and all will bend the knee
for He will end all wickedness.
Who is this Jesus, He who came
to earth from heav’n in human form
to bring true life to men on earth,
to give to all a bright new morn.

Thanksgiving Day is over, but thanksgiving never should be. I posted this picture of Christmas in lights to remind us: the most wonderful reason to be thankful is that God Himself came down to earth and took on human form. Because of Jesus coming to earth, suffering, and dying, we have access to God through Him. That is the greatest reason to give thanks that I can ever think of!
CHRISTMAS IS
A story of life
A story of death
A story of earth
A story of heaven
A story of hope
A story of life
God’s story to us
The story of Jesus
Christmas is

The year marches on and we find life takes detours we would rather not take. But God is good and gives peace in the midst of those detours! I am hoping to become a regular on WordPress again as my life takes on more normalcy. Now as I approach Christmas and a New Year, I am grateful that God became a man to bring life and peace to men. May He bring life and peace to you this season.

Christmas is almost upon us! I love all the decorations, music, and joyful celebrations! But I don’t want to forget the true reason for celebration–the birth of the King!
CELEBRATE!
The angels’ song is filling
the air with hope and joy.
But no one stops to listen.
A star beams out the message
that life is offered to men.
But no one stops to see
Shepherds tell their story—
a king lies in a manger.
But no one comes to worship.
Too many tasks to do.
Too many gifts to buy.
Too many wishes to make.
Too much to celebrate.
No time for the gift of life.

May you have a blessed Christmas!
May your Christmas be blessed!
COME
Come into the night
where shadows cover all.
Hear the angels’ song:
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men
on whom his favor rests.”
Come look to the sky
where darkness hides the day.
See the star’s light
that leads to the promise
of peace on earth to men
on whom his favor rests.
Come see the baby
lying in the manger,
fulfillment of the angels’ song,
fulfillment of the star’s promise
of peace on earth to men
on whom his favor rests.

The Christmas Story
Not just the story of one day
but revelation of God’s ways.
To save men from eternal death,
God Himself came to the earth.
Born a baby long ago,
His love and grace now to bestow
on men that they may reign with Him,
no longer slaves to death and sin.

THE SON ROSE
The darkness was pierced,
the shadows pushed aside
and light filled the world
for the Son had risen.
Darkness gave way to light,
the sky glowed in color
for morning had come.
The Son had risen.

As I looked at the picture, the sun’s rays touching the ground and the neighbor’s pond glowing in the distance, I thought of the light Christ brought into the world when He came as a baby. But He didn’t stay a baby. He died for our sins, and He rose that we might have light in this dark world. May God bless you this season with His light from above.
