In viewing our decorated Christmas tree, there are so many blessings to be found. It is the inspiration behind this sonnet-styled poem. The photographs found at the end of this post come from our tree, which is loaded with so many memories.
Angel overlooks wondrous scene below
Twinkling, flickering shadows spanning night
Christmas magic knocking at life’s doorstep
Brightest lights illuminate with delight
Past memories radiate all around
Precious ornaments and shapes of all kinds
Warmest smiles, children and grandchildren
Cherished, family love reveals and shines
Teddy bears proclaiming a mother’s love
Filling with peace, singing with hope and joy
Lights in the night, reverent birth of Christ
Angels celebrate, God’s grace now deploys
Sharing love of a Savior, lights the way
Father’s everlasting gift comes this day
Merry Christmas. Peace on earth and joy.

Indeed! Instead of calling it a Christmas tree, we should label it our Life’s tree.

perhaps that’s a new market for ornament makers – encourage people to hang them from their house plants year round…
