When Our Lord Leads the Way
In the Fall with the frost
Flocks of birds Start to form
Preparing to fly
Before Winter’s storms
Though the path of their flight
Is unseen and unclear
Their heavenly controller
Plots their course every year
And if those birds know
Which direction to stay
How much more we
When our Lord leads the way

Even the stork in the heavens knows her times, and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming, but my people know not the rules of the Lord. Jeremiah 8:7 ESV
Now that we’ve been in Florida for a while I look back and remember the worst part of Winter up North was not the snow and ice but the constant grey skies with a splash of chilly wind. In light of the grey skies and chilly wind we’ve all come through in 2020 I thought I’d begin with some gentle humor in verse with hopes it will brighten your day and shine a little light on the beginning of your 2021.
Ears
Only ears can hear
That’s just the way God made us
If ears could see or hear
They’d certainly betray us
But when God fashioned ears
Those humble awkward things
That flop about and wiggle
On little inner springs
He made a way to tell us
How much we’d been forgiven
And then He set and tuned them
To hear His words from heaven
Oh - only ears can hear
That’s just the way God made them
Humble listening gifts
That lead us to obey Him

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
We often think of the baby in the manger as the giving of God’s ultimate gift. But looking more deeply into the story we see that yes it was at Bethlehem that God’s gift came, but it was not until the cross that His gift was given. God’s gift of love became ours as the blood poured from the wound in Jesus’ side. Why not make Christmas the start of a new life’s journey that will last forever? He has given you these twelve gifts and so much more. Christmas is the perfect time to give your life to Him!
Here is my poem for you as my gift and the Mullett girls singing on a fresh new video about the Glorious Night Jesus was born! Merry Christmas all!
12 Gifts of Christmas
The gift of being a neighbor
Do I know my neighbor’s name?
The gift of Kindness
That puts prejudice to shame
The gift of Prayer
That calls help down from God
The gift of Faith
That believes when times are hard
The gift of Hope
That sees our Lord in all
The gift of Joy
That helps us when we fall
The gift of Grace
That washes away sin
The gift of Rest
That spends sweet time with Him
The Living gift of Water
That fills our thirty souls
The gift of Mercy
That answers law’s demands
The gift of a Star
That guides us through strange lands
The gift of Love
The greatest one of all
And Jesus - gift of gifts In a manger low and small!
