This Christmas
As my Christmas gift to you all, I'd like to share a poem by Joni Ames that I will be reading at our Christmas Eve service tonight. Tonight, tonight, it's Jesus birthday. I'm awestruck yet again!
Be blessed and inspired as you read Joni's poem. All my love, HisFireFly
This Christmas - by Joni Ames
On that first Christmas Day, He came,
A babe inside the hay,
A star above, the only sign
To show the world the way
On that first Christmas, just a few
Knew Jesus Christ was born
And only some beheld His face
That first bright Christmas morn
On that first Christmas night He lay
At the mercy of the world
Rejected from the very start
As His life was unfurled
His parents had to flee with Him
And find a place to hide
Where He would not be found and killed
Though many people tried
But now He's not a little babe
Wrapped, hidden, in the hay
He's risen up as King of Kings
To show the world the way
He isn't in a stable, dark,
Where no one else can see
He's risen to the throne of God
Where He was meant to be
He doesn't seek the world's grace
They kneel at His Name
And everywhere, because He lives,
The world is not the same
This Christmas He is not a child
Who seeks your mercies, fair,
But He is Lord of all the Earth
His grace, with you, to share
He doesn't run from anyone
Nor play their silly games
For even Satan has to bow
At the mention of His Name
This Christmas, take Him from the hay
And place Him on YOUR throne
For He's King of Kings, and Lord of Lords
So crown Him as YOUR OWN
Soon He'll break the Eastern Sky
Returning for His Bride
And all who still turn Him away
Will have no place to hide
Care enough to give the best
To family and friends
Give to them the Good News now
Of life that never ends
Show them there's a better way
Not mapped by any man
Let them know they have a choice
To live Salvation's Plan
Jesus Christ WAS once that child -
But let the good news ring! -
THIS Christmas, let the whole world know -
HE REIGNS AS LORD AND KING!!!

Garden Vision
I am getting lost in a vision of a garden pool. It is a place of cleansing. It is a place of lush growth. It is warm and cool at the same time. There are many shadows... but the light breaks through on the water and shines brilliantly.
The fragrances are almost overwhelming, so thick it seems like I should be able to touch them, hold them, place them in my own alabaster box.
It is a stone path that leads to the pool. Rocks and stones surround and contain the water. Flowers are floating on the surface.
The water looks so dark and deep. I want to drift, to be engulfed, to be consumed.
There are birds singing. The are angels singing. There are butterflies dancing a dance before their creator.
I need to feel this on my skin. We should need no clothes here. We should have no need to hide before our FATHER or before the lover of our souls.
Let me wash in HIS love. Let me drown in HIS mercies. Let me linger in worship, in awe and in adoration.
