Christmas can overwhelm us with memories of Christmas's past. We need to remember the reason for the season and there are times when all our lives are dark.

The Dark Times

I hope you have had a Merry Christmas

A time with ones you love

Enjoyed this season festive

Thanked Him up above.


Christmas is a merry time

With family all around

Ah those joyous bells chime

We love that Christmas sound.


Christmas is a bright time

So easy to enjoy

We can't forget the dark time

Life often does deploy.


Overwhelmed with memories

Of loved ones who have passed

Often those old Christmas stories

Your heart has so full amassed.


Christmas is the light of Christ

The healing for those dark times

The quenching of that thirst

For loved ones past the old times.


To sooth your mortal soul

Christ has given us this day

Your loved ones all around you

Just a prayer away


God Bless

Luke

Um , i'm always glad when that day ends, even though i do believe it's for jesus birth to celebrate it, but it is always so stressful.

Every Christmas light reminds me that it is the birthday of Jesus Christ, the Light of the world. All the celebration might not be intended by the celebrators for Him, but in my heart it's all one glorious birthday tribute for the King of kings.
This poem goes beneath the surface to acknowledge that there is heartache at Christmas, but God has also endowed us with Christmas joy to heal. Wise words!
