It's the first day and December. Christmas will soon be here! When I plan for Christmas I think of how my Christmas day is usually spent. I am blessed to be surrounded by family with lots of time spend around the table attempting to put together a complicated puzzle. We are always in high spirits when, at the end of the day, we can see the results of a completed puzzle scene.
So today, I put together a simple story of a Christmas puzzle in anticipation of a joyous Christmas day in 2018.
A
Christmas Puzzle
Tis' a Christmas puzzle with a heartfelt struggle
of how the Savior's
mother had no cozy place for birth.
Yet, her child would shake the earth.
Who would have ever guessed, a baby, a King no less,
would be born without
the best?
A Christmas puzzle, for sure;
God's own Son would be born into a world impure?
A puzzle, indeed, but a gift guaranteed.
Here was a King,born in a simple stable,
laid in an animal
crib, not a warm and cuddly cradle.
The child, as the story goes, was wrapped in poor swaddling
clothes.
He lay in the cold with only warmth from His mother's hold.
The night was quiet, and, this birth, many would want to
deny it.
Yet, "A King is born!" the angels sang.
Their voices around the shepherds rang.
This puzzle unfolds when a star above shone bright,
announcing the birth
with such delight.
Oh yes! A Christmas puzzle of what was taking place;
A Savior was born to bring the gift of grace.
Twas' the twist of a lifetime;
A Father's love bestowing joy sublime,
sending forth His
Son to shake the earth with a lowly stable birth.
Who would have guessed, a baby, a King, God's own Son no
less,
would be born without
the best?
