Reason for the Seasonby *mscheviousangel

Photography / Conceptual

A portion of our Christmas tree with a special ornament that emphasizes the meaning of Christmas. Wishing all a very Merry Christmas. God bless you.

JESUS IS THE REASON

by MARILYN SHACKELFORD

When I was young
And too little to know
I thought "Merry Christmas"
Meant presents and snow
Just a big tree with tinsel and lights all aglow!

I didn't understand nor
Do I think that I cared
The "true" message of Christmas
Was the Love that God shared!

I'd heard about the King who was born in a manger
But what's the fuss about some baby who to me was a stranger?
It wasn't until I had children of my own
That my "heart-strings" were tugged and the void became known.

I learned the most important thing about life is to love
And that Jesus, my Savior, was sent from above
His life an example of true love and devotion
The lights, sounds and hustle ... nothing more than commotion.

His life pure and precious freely given for me
Was so hard to believe yet so simple to see
Oh, I still sing and buy gifts to thank those I love
But I'll never forget God's great gift from above.

So make no mistake
of this "Truth" I partake
His birth is the reason
to bring Joy to this season!

Jesus is the Reason

Lovely Christmas photo!! Nice to see someone holding up the real reason for Christmas.
Would have been nice to have a couple lights... bursting/shimmering? The name of the filter is lost in my mind right now, but I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.

Merry Christmas!!

"I sleep to escape the reality of not being with you,
in the hope that I can find you in my dreams."

Thank you! Your comments are appreciated.

Sometimes the true meaning of Christmas gets lost in all the partying and gift giving.

Jesus is simply forgotten.
