Hi Friends, When I first saw this set, I knew that it would be perfect for this page. I love Christmas like most if us. So I like to keep the Christ in Christmas. After all Jesus is the Reason for the Season! The Gift of God's Love By Helen Steiner Rice All over the world at this season, Expectant hands reach to receive Gifts that are lavishly fashioned, The finest that man can conceive. For purchased and given at Christmas, Are luxuries we long to posses. Given as favors and tokens To try in some way to express That strange and undeniable feelings Which is part of this glad time of the year. When streets are crowded with shoppers And the air resounds with good cheer. But back of each tinsel-tied package , Exchanged at this gift giving season Unrecognized often by many, Lies a deeper, more meaningful reason. For, born in a manger at Christmas As a gift from the Father love, An infant whose name was called Jesus Brought mankind the gift of God?s love And the gifts we give have no purpose Unless God is a part of the giving, And Unless we make Christmas a pattern To be followed in everyday living.
