A friend sent this to me via email. Thought I would share.
The Purpose of Christmas
Just one week before Christmas
Once prayers had been heard,
The people were scurrying
To get out God’s Word.
The hymns were being sung
To Holy God above,
In thanks for Him sending,
Jesus Christ and His love.
Christmas brings remembrance
Of family and friends,
And the importance of our sharing
A love without end.
Our blessings are too numerous,
Our hearts filled with joy,
Yet our eyes have often drifted
Away from our Lord!
The Christmas season brings forth
The best in most souls,
To help those less fortunate
And lighten their load.
Salvation was offered
For all to receive,
If only each person
Would listen, heed and believe.
So if you don’t know Him
Down deep in your heart,
Ask Him to save you now
You’ll be changed on the spot.
