CHRISTmas TREE YOU HELD OUR SAVIOR TO SET US FREE... ...`FROM THE `CRADLE` TO `THE CROSS`... ...`IS WHAT CHRISTmas MEANS TO US!... Author's Note: Christmas is a great time for people to be reminded of God's faithfulness and His goodness year to year. It allows us to focus on the birth of Jesus Christ and the greatest Gift the Father gave to the world (John 3:16). It also helps and encourages us to share this greatest gifts of all, the gift of salvation, to non-believers. The world seeks to see physical things, and having trees around us can be one of the ways that we can reach out the Gospel of John 13:1-5 at Christmas and beyond that. We don't worship the trees nor the decorations that are in them - it should be made very clear to those who don't know the reason. I have never thought about this Scriptural explanation before, but this poem is my personal version of how I like to interpret the CHRISTmas Tree Tradition we now celebrate in Christian Churches, Businesses and Homes! ©*2010*~all rights reserved ``Janie's Never Ending Circle Of Love` With CHRISTmas Blessings From Above` `Janie/mjfb1954` a.k.a.~'MJB'~ Don't Take Christ Out Of CHRISTmas! ~*~♥~*~ ~*~♥~*~ `Merry CHRISTmas With A Capital "C" To All` With CHRIST in CHRISTmas We Shall Not Fall! ~*~♥~*~ Vote for this poem
