This is a poem I wrote for Christmas, and although it's February, I think that the message is still just as true. Plus there are people who celebrate Christmas all year! So, enjoy!
Immanuel's Wish
December
is the busiest time of the year
Exams, gifts, decorations, parties
Everyone runs to and fro
Songs are sung about Santa
And his elves
Bringing gifts to all the children
Music plays about how amazing the season is
Christmas is everyone's favorite
but why?
The break from school and work
The gifts
The excitement
The snow
The decorations
All that stuff about Santa?
This is what Christmas is today.
The first time was much different.
That night,
Immanuel was born
The music praised the little baby
Not a white haired old man with toys
(No offense St. Nicolas!)
Even the stars danced for Him
No one was concerned
With all the hustle and bustle
That year.
Churches and Families
Remember why
Christmas exists
But have we really
Understood the Love
That sent Him to us?
Have we done everything
We can to glorify Him
and no one else?
Do we ever give Jesus
What's on His wish list:
Our Hearts and Souls
?
Don't wait for next year.
Even if it's already late for
Christmas day.
No is the time
To give God
What's on His Christmas Wish List.
You can always give
Him more of you
Everyday
Now is the time
To give God
What's on His wish list.
Just start with this moment.
