🎄 Christmas 🎄 ∞ A Music Video & Poem by Bette A. Stevens, Maine author

Aside

Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (Holy Bible: KJV)

He came as a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Lived among us on earth…

God’s gifts to bestow.

∞ Christmas ∞

Poem by Bette A. Stevens

 

The last cookie baked, the final gift wrapped.

Christmas Eve is upon us…

It’s time to relax.

Christmas music is gently reminding us why

Lord Jesus, the Christ Child…

Came down from on high.

He came as a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Lived among us on earth…

God’s gifts to bestow.

Loving God, loving others—Christ bought with his life

He epitomized love…

Not anger or strife.

God’s love—it’s a most precious gift we’re to share

With all those we know…

And with folks everywhere.

Wishing you the love, joy and peace found in Jesus—the Christ Child. ~Bette A. Stevens, Maine author

      Thanks so much, dear Annika. ❤ I'll let you know when Oskar's Quest arrives… A beautiful story to share with the little ones when they come to visit–how special it will be to tell them about you–my amazing Swedish author (like Astrid Liindgren) friend. We'll have a perfectly wonderful book talk too… ❤ Christmas blessings and love! xo
