On Christmas Day
God sent us
a gift swaddled with Love

Wrapped with Love
**************************
What’s this new present under the tree?
It wasn’t there on Christmas Eve
And what’s inside doesn’t matter to me
It’s about the love of our family
~
So many prayers have been said
each night as I laid upon my bed
and each need of grace now in my head
inspires my words now written instead
~
Only a parent could understand
the love for a child now a man
and how this bond continues its plan
until time’s final grain of sand

Your gift reminds me
of the One God gave
wrapped with love on Christmas Day.

Our treasured gifts have been the time we’ve spent with our teenagers.
We were so proud of them as they sat in front of us at The Hobbit movie.
They were more considerate and quiet than a myriad of adults
whose mobile devices were interrupting the show
with flashes, ring-a-lings, and other silliness.
~
We were so proud of our teenagers when they were willing to go for a walk
with us on Christmas Eve to view
our neighborhood lights that are the talk of the town.
~
We were touched when all of them sat and watched
It’s a Wonderful Life
with us,
instead of chatting with their online friends.
~
They reminded us of what God cares about.
A personal relationship.
~ Love ~
