Grumppa do Christmas....

A time before time, not to far away..
the kids ask grandpa about christmas to see what he'd say..
The old man grumbled,  and let out a sigh...
climb in my lap I'll give it a try..
Way back when, the world was still new...
Folks got confused didn't know what to do..
the good times got bad .. and the bad times got worse.
you can read it in the good book verse by verse...
The world kept turning, and day after day..
men turn from compassion to profit they say..
In the back rooms a story was told...
there would be a saviour, oh that story was old...
Some folks didn't listen... most folks  didn't care..
to busy with living the life that was there...
One nite, kinda sudden... an Angel appeared..
to a shepard boy he told of a child born all so near..
As the boy stood and listen..appeared  in the sky...
A star so bright, to be guided by...
there in a stable, as simple can be...
A baby named Jesus and mother Mary..
Three wise men came in search of this child...
the deception in their hearts became tender and mild...
Gift they had brought they lay at his feet...
with joy in their hearts they made a retreat...
Another way home those wise men did travel..
so that a nasty old kings intentions unraveled...
For all that came to that child that nite...
they saw something more than the child in plain sight..
This child would bare all out hopes and dreams...
to provide for all men three marvelous things...
Love, faith, and Hope, and the everlasting means...
So each Christmas the gifts you recieve...
remind us of Jesus and what we believe...
For God so Loved the World, he gave his Only Begotten Son.
that little baby Jesus ... yepp he was the One...
 
God bless each and everyone...Merry Christmas...Russ
