Welcome December

Welcome December ...

     

       this beautiful month of expectations

       full of dreams, full of hope

       excitement in the air

       we stand in line and search

       for perfect gifts for those we love

       taking time to show we care

       sweet children take center stage

       all ages becoming as children again

       enjoying the simple and the surprises

       our homes are decorated

       cookies are baked, candles are lit

       warmth and love fills each room     

       our hearts are tender, longing for home

       travel plans are formed

       and loved ones fill our thoughts

       this beautiful month of expectations

       full of dreams, full of hope

       all a warm and precious picture 

       of our deepest longings and yearnings

       for a Savior, for our forever home

Because of God's tender mercy,

the morning light from heaven is

about to break upon us,

to give light to those who sit in darkness

and in the shadow of death,

and to guide us to the path of peace.

(Luke 1:78-79)

Look! The virgin will conceive a child!

She will give birth to a son,

and they will call Him Immanuel,

which means 'God is with us'.

(Matthew 1:23)
