CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS

 

CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS

With each Christmas card I write

I’m thankful for you in my life.

You have been a welcome gift

sent from God to lift my spirits

for God knew

and sent you

as a blessing...continually making.

With each ornament received and hung on the tree,

each year you make for me a special memory.

Rather it’s purchased or stitched with yarn

each ornament contains a yarn -

a dear story.

A new memory.

A blessing...it’s making.

With each picture received

it’s hard to believe

how much your kids have grown.

Wasn’t it yesterday they were born?

Soon they’ll be on their own.

How quickly the years have flown.

A blessing...surely making.

With each cookie baked

and decorated,

recalling childhood memories,

and making someone new memories,

each year when gladly shared -

trees, angels, snowflakes, bears.

A blessing...in the making.

With each gathering at this time of year

with friends or family who are dear

we welcome more blessings

discovered in receiving

another year of blessings

from God who’s ever giving.

A blessing...ever making.

With each Christmas carol heard

we’re reminded of the Lord

who was born one appointed day

in a town far, far away

yet lives within our hearts

and will never depart.

An eternal blessing...forever making.

With each twinkling light

I’m blessed tonight

with memories

of you and me.

Just wanted you to know

wherever you go

a blessing...you’ll be making.

God’s blessings to you and yours

at Christmas time and all year through.

I wish you health,

but above all else -

peace and joy within,

more than anything.

Until we meet again

these blessings to you I send.

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health

and that all may go well with you,

even as your soul is getting along well.

III John 2
