Poem Artwork

... The smallness of him belies the
greatness of the I AM lying in a
manger, crying for his mother ---
doesn't look like much, does he?

Certainly not how I would have
pictured the King of kings and
Lord of lords, an infant wrapped
in swaddling clothes.  I would
 
understand a great big angry
God, One shaking the rafters of
Heaven with hands the size of
the universe, shouting in a voice

like thunder:  now that's power.
But ... a baby?  A tiny, helpless
--- what can a baby do?!?  What,
indeed.  The birth of the Christ!

Anointed One!  Savior!  The hope
for all mankind!  Might not look
like much to you, but to me, he is
the most beautiful Gift I ever got ...

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (12/12)

The birth of Jesus Christ was a blessing to the world. Any moslem who does not believe in Jesus does not believe in Allah. Thanks Karla, your brother and friend Abdi-Noor
