Sunday Morning - “Merry Christmas”
Merry Christmas Dear Ones…
It’s been an eventful year to remember,
I’ve been busy loving all of you January through December…
I loved you all year long, every single minute,
My world has been a better place because you have been in it…
I loved you doing homework, playing games and making friends,
Like your mother’s list of things to do, my love never ends…
I loved you at your workplace, at your home and at the store,
When you were too busy to love me back, I loved you all the more…
I loved you when you came to me in quiet thoughtful prayer,
And when you shared the gifts God gave you, showing others how you cared…
When your faith was strong and steadfast and you glorified my name,
Even when you doubted me, my loved stayed the same…
When you were anxious and afraid and your faith was challenged by fear,
You thought I wasn’t listening, but I was ever near…
When you were hurting and wondering if I was ever going to ease your pain,
I was right there hurting with you, and there my love remains…
I loved you all day long and when you couldn’t sleep at night,
In your darkest hour it was my love that gave you light…
I gave you peace and patience when you couldn’t find it on your own,
I was your companion in times of change, so you wouldn’t feel alone…
I loved you every where you went, en every situation,
When you sinned and when you resisted that temptation…
Sometimes you blessed my heart with songs and praise and joyful laughter,
I loved you long before those times and I will love you ever after…
As you celebrate my birthday now and a bright new year begins,
Please remember I came that night to save you from your sins…
My love, it stretches far and wide. There is no place it wouldn’t go,
From the manger to the cross and beyond, I’ve always loved you so…
It is my deepest desire to be a part of all you say and do,
And for you to know how much I treasure my relationship with you…
So let’s keep in touch throughout the year and let us not drift apart,
I’ll keep you wrapped in my loving arms, please keep Me in your loving heart…
