The Message of Christmas

The Message of Christmas

 

 

 

I see Christmas

through the eyes of a child…

so magnificently its beauty shines,

like diamond glints of snow.

 

 

I feel Christmas

through the heart of a child…

an abundance of innocence and wonder

reaching far beyond the brilliance of a north star.

 

 

And through the laughter of a child,

I hear Christmas…

rejoicing its promise and mirth,

proclaiming the miracle of birth!

 

 

 

Author's Note

...Merry Christmas to all, with love!

Christmas through the eyes of a child, most remember what it was like as a child. I see children and think the same thing sometimes, how wonderful would it be to have the feeling again of such wonderment.

I believe we all lose touch of it as we grow older. It still resides within the heart of us, though...I truly believe! Hope the New Year is kind to you, Robert...and holds many blessings of joy!

A lovely write a lovely photo cute as Kelly!! Merry xmas to you but I have to say it doesn't feel like Xmas this year I'm not sure why???? It just doesn't!

[Kelly Scheppers]

So sorry to hear that, Andrew. I know for me, the weather has a lot to do with it. It's hard to get in a festive mood when it's 80 plus degrees in December...but this year it's calling for a little rain with temps in the lower 60's. Perhaps a hug will help cheer you up! (((hug))) ; )

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Kelly, hugs to you too. We have had four days of 42C and we don't have aircon lol

dear Kelly... "beyond the brilliance of the North Star"
we wander through the heavens of colored bulbs...
reflections of God's grace as angels play their heavenly
harps.. Goodwill to men... A sweet and endearing
poem of the magic of Christmas... truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

...that photo says it all...I just hope we can all recapture the true joy of the day! Merry Christmas, dear friend!
