So closing this extended verse, I wonder how to do
The lessons in the prophecies, the Gospels are for you
And me to learn the truth of Christ, the reason that He came
Was more to know a giving God than just to know His name.
His mother Mary, bless her heart, gave Jesus human life
She nourished Him and brought Him forth and then became a wife.
And mother too, to Him, her Son, a most important job
For mothers love, that’s what they do, it’s why their hearts do throb.
Now Joseph gave his trust to God, that all would turn out right
He listened when he was spoken to and heard from God at night.
He set the tone for family life. He was a grateful man.
For all that he’d been given, he knew it was God’s plan.
For this is what it’s all about, the giving part I mean
If you’ll recall the animals around the manger scene
What could they give? An animal? Why, they provided heat.
It’s what they had, it’s what they could and did provide that’s sweet.
The shepherds came with nothing but their wonder and their awe
Which proved to be quite the gift when they realized what they saw
The Magi gave their earthly gifts with homage and respect
Two very important things to give to those whom we neglect.
Of all these words and all this talk, my point is overdue
The reason for the season is God’s gift to you
The gift He sent, the greatest prize, to you and me and all
That we may know and worship Him for that is our great call.
Merry Christmas.
And Happy Birthday to you, my dear Robin - December 23
