.....at Christmas Christ comes to us like a little child, small and helpless,
so much in need of all that love can give. Are we ready to recieve Him?
Before the birth of Jesus His parents asked for a simple dwelling place,
but there was none. If Mary and Joseph were looking for a home
for Jesus, would they choose your house and all it holds?
Mother Teresa
Oh, Saviour, stay this night with me
it seems so easy to say
when you've been married thirty years
and things are going your way
and you've an empty bedroom, all made up
with sheets both clean and white
Your could tell the Lord, come in!
Come in, and spend the night
but wait!
go back with me 2000 years
picture Mary, meek and mild
and Joseph, knocking on the door saying
'We have God's own child within
we need a bed, a little food
and love...have you any to spare?
We're expecting the Son of God
do you have some to share?
If
Mary and Joseph were looking for
a house for their own son
would they coose yours? and all it holds?
Each night as day is done
would they find you, with family gathered round
as you kneel in family prayer
and would they hear the singing?
and the laughter in the air
and
would they hear the scripture study
as you learn of God's great plan
and would they say
'Let's leave our son right here'
I hope they can because
each home should be a place of love
where children love to be
and every child that comes to us was God's
eternally
that He has loaned us for a few short years saying
''This is a child of mine
Be careful how you handle him because
he is divine'
