The Nativity Often, in my meditations, I return to Bethlehem. Where my mind projects a picture Of the way it must have been. I see the startled shepherds As God’s Angels stage the sky, Announcing the birth of Jesus, And glorifying God on high! I visualize the Wise Men, Following a star that rose, To view the promised Christ Child Snugly wrapped in swaddling clothes. I can intercept the thought life Racing through the Virgin’s mind… Contemplating on this miracle Even she could not define! I anticipate the animals, Sheltered in in that special stable, Sensing something in the spirit As they’re feeding from the cradle. I can hear the morning rooster As he’s bringing in the day… Hear the first cries of the baby As He’s lain upon the hay. I rejoice in the sure knowledge Of salvation from my sins! Things will never ever be the same… The New Testament begins….!!! Doris Jacobs-Covington December 2012 ~~Dedicated to Kathy~~ ~~MERRY CHRISTMAS~~ Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." |
