One Night
One night many years ago
a baby was born
after a day of traveling.
His parents couldn’t find
a room at the inn,
so they laid
their heads in a barn
between the animals.
That holy night
many years ago
a lady gave birth
to a boy named Jesus.
This little baby was
son of God
born to save
the world.
Each year
people all over the world
take one day
to celebrate his birth.
To think
about that holy night,
when Jesus Christ entered
the world as a baby.

It Is Christmas Time
It is Christmas time.
It time tr stop and think.
To think about
what is
the meaning of Christmas,
your friends,
your family, and yourself.
It is Christmas time
for meditation on
the meaning of Christmas.
Ask God
to turn your thoughts
on the meaning of Christmas.
Season of love,
hope and peace.
But,
the most important
meaning of Christmas
Is Jesus Christ
was born.

What Does Christmas Mean?
It was a week
before Christmas,
and a friend of mine
asked me
if I would like to go
look at Christmas lights.
I answered,
“Sure I would love to.”
I thought
it might get me into
the Christmas spirit.
All that week
I was praying
for a deeper
understanding of
the meaning of Christmas.
We saw a lot of
nice places that were lit up
with beautiful lights.
There were places that had Santa
and his reindeer.
As we were driving around
and listening to carols
on the radio,
I thought this is nice
but it doesn’t do anything for me.
Then, the radio was playing
Holy Night
when we were driving
by a Nativity scene.
The true meaning of Christmas
is in that Nativity scene.
Jesus Christ was born.

Gift from God
People give gifts on
birthdays, anniversaries
and Christmas.
What is a gift?
To show you care,
to show that you
are thinking of them,
to show your love.
Christmas is a gift
from God.
Jesus was born
on this day.
Jesus was sent
by God as a baby.
His only Son
to save his people.
Is that not the
greatest gift that
you ever received?

King of Kings
A young lady said, “Yes”
to God 2000 years ago.
When the angel of the Lord,
asked her to be a mother
of God’s son.
On that night when
the lady gave birth to her son,
she was traveling on a donkey
with her husband all day.
And on that night,
there was no room
at the inn.
So they stayed in the barn,
with the cows, donkeys and sheep.
That night a baby was born
and he laid in a manger.
That’s how a king of kings
enters the world,
as a poor child.
To show the world that
what you own does not matter,
but who you are does.
