... Given to you with love ...


Poem Artwork

How can one look ...kingly 
when wrapped in swaddling clothes,
and laid in a manger?

How could a mere babe be
man's hope for salvation?

Would you rather have
have lightnings, thunderings,
the sky splitting apart?

God knew man would run scared.
So ... He sent a small gift.

The birth of our Savior,
King of kings.  Lord of lords,
given to you with love.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman.  (12/3)

It is the little things in life that brought peace and salvation to man and even with all we do in this world it is always the little things that are most important. Christ took the sublime and sinful and turned it around for His glory. well done karla

be blessed

What a beautiful tribute to the Holy Saviour, especially this Christmas season! We need to think more about that Babe and less about ourselves, our greedy ways. Well penned; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D
