Here's a poem I heard and wanted to share......

The Priceless Christmas Gift

Now Christmas is a season
for joy and merrymaking,
A time for gifts and presents,
for giving and for taking...
A festive, friendly happy time
when everyone is gay -
But have we ever really felt
the greatness of the day...
For through the centuries the world
has wandered far away
From the beauty and the meaning
of the Holy Christmas Day...
For Christmas is a heavenly gift
that only God can give,
It's ours just for the asking,
for as long as we shall live...
It can't be bought or bartered,
it can't be won or sold,
It doesn't cost a penny
and it's worth far more than gold...
It isn't bright and gleaming
for eager eyes to see,

It can't be wrapped in tinsel
or placed beneath a tree...
It isn't soft and shimmering
for reaching hands to touch,
Or some expensive luxury
you've wanted very much...
For the priceless Gift of Christmas
is meant just for the heart
And we receive it only
when we become a part
Of the kingdom and the glory
which is ours to freely take,
For God sent the Holy Christ Child
at Christmas for our sake.

Merry Christmas from the Moffitt's.....

One of our favorite Christmas Songs

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.

We are all so blessed to have such a great family. I wish we could see each other more often but it is great that we can all come together at Christmas time. We had a great meal, some singing, some presents and lots of laughing and fun. What more could we ask for.
