Jesus is the Reason for the Season
My dear mother-in-law passed a way several years ago, she loved Christmas and loved Jesus with all her heart. The other day I was looking for a family recipe and found this in her recipe box, I feel she probably read this every Christmas and I know it meant a lot to her, take it to heart and love your family while they are still here.
“Jesus is the Reason for the Season”
The presents are tucked, By the tree neatly trimmed.
Children are excited, As gift-giving begins.
Loved ones and friends, Gather as before.
To hear the story of Christmas,
Told by Grandpa once more.
Everything is ready, the celebration starts.
But something is missing, Could it be my heart?
Could Christmas be more, Than gifts under a tree?
The true meaning of the season, I really want to see.
My heart begins to ponder, My thoughts see the sight,
Of that very first Christmas, The holiest of nights.
Angels praise and worship, Shepherds share the sight.
Of God’s wondrous promise, a King is born tonight!
I understand the difference, The reason is crystal clear.
It’s JESUS who makes the season-of-family, friends and cheer.
Without the birth of Jesus,
the celebration would be gone.
HE brings the love of family,
HE brings the joy of song.
People would still be lonely,
No hope would fill their way.
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON,
IT IS HIS SPECIAL DAY!
