And I do appreciate how you explained that shadow that hovers over the manger. Cuddling baby is so sweet but cruel crucifiction was the end result for Jesus because of me!! Thank you again and Happy birthday Diana! What a gift to you. Blessings!

No taking time to just remember what it really means. ( My step-daughter writes a new Poem about Christ every Christmas. It IS her card. She has been doing this for years. She is so talented. I wish she would get them published into a book. ) I wish a" Very Merry CHRISTmas" to each of you girls. I love this site!

Not running here nor running there, but wrapping presents after I have run here and there for 2 weeks! I'm thankful for church at Christmas time and the Christmas Eve get together we have at my sis in law's every year. They help keep me grounded and remind me of the true reason for the season. We eat and then sing carols on Christmas Eve with the whole family.<br /><br />I love your wonderful poem, TERESA, and your reminder that we should be so thankful for that little babe who grew up and gave HIS life that we might have eternal life! He is no longer in that manger, but sits at the right hand of the Father!
