Christmas Is . . . .
*a gift of love wrapped in human flesh and tied securely with the strong promises of God.
* angelic music in the form of a carol and oratorio with a celestial descant.
*"glory to God," "good will to man," and "joy to the world."
* a man on duty tending sheep, or machine, who senses the upward call and stops to worship.
*a tall green tree which serves as festive altar for any household which discovers the true meaning behind it all.
* a ringing bell calling a distraught humanity to gladness and hope.
*a glowing hearth gently placed in the winter of man's loneliness.
*an altar to which man can bring his heartache for comfort, his 'lostness' for guidance, and his sin for forgiveness.
* the sparkle of anticipation and the steady light of faith in the eyes of a little child as he hears the old, old story.
*the shining star of hope in the sky of all mankind.
*more than words can tell, for it is a matter for the heart to receive, believe and understand.
*me, you and Jesus.♥
