Today the children of our church put on a “Christmas Around the
World” Christmas play. It was a
wonderful treat! My youngest daughter
Lia, participated with a speaking role as well as singing as an angel. Philip has still been reluctant to go into
our church sanctuary because of the way the room echoes sound and bothers his
ears. The director of the pageant, Sarah
Russo, was kind enough to find a way for Philip to participate. She called me a few weeks ago to see if
Philip would like to participate by writing a poem for the program. Philip agreed. This is what he wrote:
“Christmas”
I love Christmas
Time to accept a
precious gift
A Savior around the
world
King of Kings
Our Lord forever
He is Jesus.
I love how Philip reminds me of the heart of Christmas. I often get carried away with the stress of
putting on the “perfect” Christmas. The
truth is, Christ has already made it perfect by being the perfect gift to the
world. The King of Kings, Emmanuel “God
with us”, came down to earth to live among us, to heal us, to teach us, and to
atone for our sins. Like a child on
Christmas morning, we only need to receive Him to experience the real joy of
Christmas.
