The man's side of it!

Check out these photos at Planet Christmas
I like to drive around at night admiring the simple and sometimes very elaborate Christmas decorations. There is one in our neighborhood that looks like the Titanic from across the lake. I saw the photos at planet Christmas and wondered if those people really remember the true meaning of Christmas. I found this beautiful poem which simply explains why we celebrate this Holiday Season and who we should be remembering.

The Birth of the King

Today is Christmas; be blessed and be well
And remember The Gift Of Emanuel
We who were lost and so undone
Did He rescue from death by sending His Son
God The Father Who Is Seated Above
Gave us His Best with Eternal Great Love

He is no longer The Tiny Babe In A Manger
But Is Lord Of Heaven, Who To Us Is No Stranger
This Tiny Young Infant Who Was Born In A Stable
Now Reigns In His Glory To Make Us Able
To Indure His Suffering And Much Persecution
As His Blood Was Shed; Our Only Solution

He Has Sent His Blessed Holy Spirit
To Teach Us His Will Through His Word; Can You Hear It?
To you and your house are His Promises given
As we walk through this life, each day that we're living

So open your heart that you might receive
And do not doubt, but only believe
That He Will Do What All He Has Said
As you rise to your feet and lie down on your bed
Oh Merciful Jesus; Full Of Love And Grace
To a world all broken and full of strife
That they too might inherit Eternal Life

And if I'm imprisoned you are with me there
And I'll walk with You as You allow me to share
Your Forgiveness And Pardon That Souls Might Be Freed
As You Hear Their Prayers At Their Very Need

Son on This Day do I Praise Your Name
As You Touch Me To Never Be The Same
And as I'm Filled With Your Spirit And Blessed With Cheer
May I Shine Forth Your Light through the next coming year.
