Merry Christmas!
On a cold April day On a snowbank did lay
A frightened and hungry lost dog. I whistled, she came, without delay
And entered our hearts In a most affectionate way. We searched for her owner,
Alas, she’s a loner But trained and friendly to boot.
We claimed her and named her.. Who’s “Lucky”?
We ask since we’ve known her! The world was a mess But she came to bless,
Proving love is stronger than hate. Yes, God sends his Son
In the form of one who frees us from our fate.
With unbounded love, Kisses soft as a glove, He fills empty places
Gives and receives embraces, Reminding us
All grace comes from above. We’ve no better way Our love to convey
Than through faith and a hope enduring, that shines in a star away yet not far, on the bed where our dear Jesus lay.
To give credit….My wife, Kathy wrote a poem for our Christmas letter and I wanted to share it with you.
