Christmas Hymns, sparkling white candles, devotion to the LORD and Savior, and a heart filled with thanks and love, to the heart that is the consummate Being of LOVE… So,thank You my sweet Lord!
As a child Christmas was always special, first and foremost, because Jesus Christ came to live with us, and save us. To celebrate His glory and miraculous birth, we had lights ablaze on our outside porch, white flickering lights, a huge wreath adorned our front door, and on our lawn the nativity scene. So,Thank You Lord!
Inside the house, a big tree that hit our ceiling, and many times had to be sized down to make it fit, it was decorated with tinsel and old fashioned ornaments; each different, each unique in its own way. Colorful presents arranged with care under the tree, the scent of mom’s incredible cooking, and baking, along with the anticipation of family visiting later on, to join in on the joyful festivities. These cherished memories lay within the folds of my mind and are sealed deep within my heart and soul, to which I’m thankful and so blessed to have had growing up. So, thank You Lord!
Midnight services a special and beautiful tradition, to worship the LORD with other believers ,was a divine pleasure and joy. Afterwards presents were exchanged in honor of the LORD…sheer perfection. So, Thank You Lord!
Oh, yes! Sweet memories, dashing through my head, touching my heart as happy tears fill my eyes. Although both parents are gone now, Dad 19 years ago, and Mom 3 1/2 years…they’re never gone from my heart or mind, never. So, Thank You Lord!
My parents exemplified decency, compassion, and love, along with a vast fountain of wisdom, that they carefully taught to each of their children. But perhaps the biggest legacy they left, was their love, and devotion, to their children, and their example for us, their children. So thank you Dad and Mom, for your guidance, and wisdom, and watching us grow into adults, and holding us through it all. So,Thank You Lord!
So, this Christmas..(and every day) I hold them in my heart, and smile, knowing I was truly blessed to have had them as parents. And like my “Earth Mom and Dad” who led us, guided us, and held my hand, I know my Father in Heaven loves me,and is guiding me, leading me, and holding my hand, each and every day of my life. So, Thank You Lord!
He holds me up every step of the way, for the rest of my days, until the day He takes me home into His presence, in Heaven for all eternity. So, Thank You Lord!
“Father God, Lord of lords, and King of kings, Creator of the Universe, and my heart and soul, Thank You for my parents, my blessings, and for all that You are, and all that You have done since the beginning of time, and continue doing for Your children, now and always, I give You all the glory, honor, praise no matter what, Thank You for Your love and Your protection, I love You Lord, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.”
