The Falalala is all around us~
Hope
fills the air.
Peace on earth goodwill to men~
Hope
fills the air.
But amongst the
Falalala
Life keeps going on~
as not only does
laughter fill the air
but
tears also fill the air~
Joy
and Sorrow
all around us
as we
Celebrate with loved ones
who are here
and
as we
Celebrate our loved ones
who are no longer here.
As much loss has happened this month
as loved ones
are now
dancing with
Jesus~
the Man
who once was
A Baby
Born in a manger
Born to
Restore all that is lost
Born to
Breath
Life back into death
to
make all things right.
Because
this is what Christmas is all about~
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelations 21:4
It all started in a manger
the moment
The Baby
let out His first cry
so
He could
hear your cries
and wipe your tears
because
Hope
fills the air
in the midst of the
Falalalala
to remind you what
Christmas is all about~
"It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood"*
&
then you
experience it~
"Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously Pacing 'round like little boys do And in his hands he held a pair of shoes His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe And when it came his time to pay I couldn't believe what I heard him say Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my mama, please It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size Could you hurry, sir, daddy says there's not much time You see she's been sick for quite a while And I know these shoes would make her smile And I want her to look beautiful if mama meets Jesus tonight" (The Christmas Shoes)
Joy
in the midst of sorrow
for
those who have gone before you
to meet
Jesus
because He said~
Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23: 43
Hope
fills the air.
Joy
in the midst of sorrow.
My heart is crushed with all of you
in the midst of your great losses.
Hugs those you love
and love those you hug
whether they are here with you
or have gone ahead
to be with
Jesus
because
He is the reason for the season
because
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Revelations 21:4
I knew that God had sent that little boy To remind me just what Christmas is all about...
