A whisper
Echoed through the years
A sweet melody
Gliding through the veins of Earth
A promise
Conceived of the heart of God
Feel thy soul
Dance with the joys of eternity
The stars glitter with glory
Awaited since the dawn of time
This day a miracle proclaims
The magnificence of the universe
Come sing the quintessence of the heavens
Hallelujah
Christ our Redeemer is born
Our salvation has been purchased by one who was sent to be lead the way for us. Nothing we could do in a thousand lifetimes could fully pay that back. But each year we take the time to celebrate the birth of that Holy One, Jesus Christ.
Yesterday, like usual, we got together for Christmas Eve with our cousins. They came over to our home and we ate a fancy dinner of ham, potatoes, rolls, yams, reunion salad, etc. After eating and chatting, the little kids performed a Nativity play and we got our new pajamas.
But once they left and the kids had slipped in bed, the house was still. The Christmas tree twinkled in the living room and songs still rang in my head. On the coffee table, cookies, carrots, and milk waited for Santa. As did everyone else.
After a few hours, I'm sure the kids were quite delighted in hearing the reindeers' hooves clop on the roof and the sleigh bells chime. {wink}
This year was a really good year, present-wise. There were dolls, bikes, cameras, legos, clothes, books, etc.
How bizarre to think that I now only have three Christmases left with the family before I go off into a totally new phase of life. But until then, I will continue to enjoy Christmas and the time I get to spend with my family just the way it is.
Merry Christmas!
