WRAPPED...
Not in brightly colored paper and ribbons,
But in swaddling clothes.
NESTLED...
Not under a green-needled tree,
But in a manger.
GIVEN...
Not by earthly parents or friends,
But by our Heavenly Father.
SENT...
Not because it was expected,
But from pure love.
PLANNED...
Not as last minute,
But from before the creation of the world.
GUARANTEED...
Not for a year,or even five,
But for eternity
If you haven't figured out who this poem is talking about it is about the reason why we celebrate Christmas(at least to a Believer anyway). It's how Jesus came to earth born to die for our sins so that we may become right with God. Merry Christ-mas!!!!
(SIDE NOTE)
