GOD'S LOVE-THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

GOD'S LOVE
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING




MERRY CHRISTMAS!


There I said it
Wash my mouth out
With soap


We can say
“Happy Hanukkah”
We can say
“Happy Kwanzaa”


I don't understand
Why it is such a BIG DEAL
to say “MERRY CHRISTMAS”


It is a holiday
Named after a man
Who gave his life
To this world
And the people
In it


He BELIEVED in you
He believed in us
Whether we believe in him
Or not


But by believing
In him
We are left
With eternal life


“For the wages
Of sin is death
But the GIFT OF GOD
Is eternal life
In Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 6:23


I want to
LIVE FOREVER-IN GOD
How about you


At any rate
GOD has been giving GIFTS to his people
GIFTS-in the form of people
Since the beginning of TIME


He used Noah
To SAVE the world
From the great flood


He used Abraham
To become the FATHER
Of many nations


He used Moses
TO LEAD his people
To the PROMISED LAND


And he used Jesus Christ
HIS SON
To give people
The gift of life IN LOVE
And be an example
Of how to sacrifice
For one another


The GIFT
That KEEPS ON GIVING
IS GOD'S LOVE


And what is so great about it
IS-we don't have to give anything back


And UNFORTUNATELY
Many of us don't
NOT even a thought to Christ
And what his life/death
Stood for
And what it still STANDS for
AT this special time of year


“Therefore-if you are offering
Your gift at the altar
And there remember
That your brother
Has something against you


LEAVE your gift there
In front of the altar


First go
And be reconciled
To your brother


Then come
And offer your gift” Matthew 5:23


I don't have anything
Against anyone


And I HOPE AND PRAY
No one
Has anything against me


GOD'S MESSAGE
IS UNITY AND LOVE
Regardless of our race, nationality, or religion


So HAPPY HANUKKAH!
HAPPY KWANZAA!


And YES MERRY CHRISTMAS!


GOD'S LOVE
IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!
