CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
By Jan Humphrey
On a starry night long ago
Was born to the world a Savior -
The Beloved Child of God -
On whom God showed His favor.
A new tradition was also born -
To celebrate this Blessed Christ Child,
By sharing the story with everyone
Of the love that made God smile.
Generations have continued the tradition, With friends and family far and
near.
Even random acts of kindness
Can spread a little Christmas cheer.
Amidst the joy and happiness
Might come an urge to shed a tear,
Especially when circumstances
Make for a difficult year.
Experiencing the loss of a loved one -
Whether expected or unforeseen -
Can cast shadows on celebrations -
No matter how joyful the scene.
That's when God sends special angels
To remind us of memories gone by.
Cherish your happy times together,
And know that it's okay to cry.
Christmas is the season of giving
And spreading love all around,
And that Bright Star also sends peace,
While reminding that hope can be found.
So, as 2014 comes to an end,
Hold close to each work of God's art -
And take comfort in each memory -
For they'll always be in your heart.
