My Christmas tree . . . is an evergreen, because Jesus lives eternally. It has a star on top because God is our faithful Guide. It has sparkling lights on it that remind me those who turn many to righteousness will shine like the stars. It has decorations of gold and silver and gems, the righteous acts of the saints. Presents underneath are the only good reply to all He's done . . . we give to others.
But we won't have a Christmas tree this year thanks to our 2-year-old cats! They will never let us!!
Much love!
The colours on my tree remind me that Jesus is for ever - the evergreen. That he is King of kings - gold. That his blood was shed - the red. And that it washes whiter than snow - the white.
Christmas Colours *
The colours of Christmas,
Red, white, green and gold;
Each has a meaning
Where Christ’s story is told.
The gold is his royalty,
He’s the king of all kings;
Born in a stable,
Salvation he brings.
The white is his purity;
God’s own perfect pure light,
Which shines in the darkness
Abolishing night.
The red is his blood
Which was shed on that tree
To cleanse us from sin
And set us all free.
The evergreen branches
So fragrant and green
Mean life everlasting
For those who are clean.
Our Father in heaven
Came down from above
And lived as a man,
For such is his love.
So be quiet this Christmas,
Make room in your heart,
Allow Jesus to enter
For that shining new start.
