Thursday December 17 2015  BUSY TIME OF YEAR

Since this is such a busy time of the year for me, as well as my readers, I plan to write very short blogs just to say hello to the faithful family followers and to those brave enough to take a few moments out of their busy day to check the computer.

My Christmas project is finished.  I have one small task left to do.  It will be completed tomorrow.  Yeah!!!

I wish all of my readers a wonderful holiday season as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.  My husband saved a song he heard on the TV for me to listen to called “Where Else Would a Lamb be Born?” sung by Steve Amerson.  Mentioning the birth of Jesus reminded me of the song.  If you have a chance to look it up on line and listen to Steve sing it, you will be pleasantly surprised.  The song has beautiful words and the singing is amazing.  I hope you take time out to enjoy hearing it.  I just heard it for the first time and it came out in 2012.  Shows you how far behind I am with the times.  His song inspired my poem below.

BORN IN A LOWLY STABLE

By Kathleen Martens

December 17, 2015

I pray God to grant the wish

Of peace, joy, and love.

God provided the way

When He sent Jesus from above.

Jesus born in a lowly stable.

A king of such royal birth.

And the angels proclaimed aloud

The glory of his worth.

But the world did not see

Or understand the amazing gift,

That this little boy child

Someday sin would lift.

And so He did what was planned

Amongst tears pain and sorrow,

That peace, joy, and love

Would be in all your tomorrows.

He is he Savior of the world

Born in a lowly stable.

And His birth really happened.

His story is no fable.

Good night and God bless you.  I WISH YOU PEACE, JOY, AND LOVE.
