Merry Christmas Dear Sisters!
I hope you have had a wonderful, joyful Christmas. My kids were all in bed a couple hours early tonight. I think they quite wore themselves out "making merry." I hope your heart has been filled with the light of Christ this Christmas season. What a blessed miracle and gift the Savior’s birth and life are for us.
I love a good Christmas song, and came across this one, and I thought the lyrics and message were profound enough to share.
“He’s Got the Gift” (by Ryan Shupe)
The wise men came from many miles away to see what prophecy foretold
miraculous surprise, tears came to their eyes, and they said...He’s got the gift
Shepherds from afar, followed true the star and the king shook his head in disbelief
hear the angels sing, let salvation ring...He’s got the gift
Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, oh come ye, oh come ye, to Bethlehem
The people gathered round to hear his voice the sound of truth and prophecy foretold
with loaves and fishes fed, five thousand people said.... He’s got the gift
Merciful and kind, he even healed the blind and caused the lame to walk again
His fame grew far and wide, well it could not be denied...He’s got the gift
On his shoulders bore, the cross and so much more, and on his head a crown of thorns
and his death it had to be for all the world to see... He’s got the gift
Because only he could give and only he could live to rise again to conquer death and sin
so hear the angels sing, let salvation ring...He’s got the gift
Sing Choirs of Angels, sing in exaltation! ...Christ the Lord is born, Christ the Lord born
Remember that the only gift he asks in return is “a broken heart and a contrite spirit”.
I hope the Spirit of Christmas will be in your heart throughout this coming week!
You are a blessing in my life! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Lydia
