Every 25th day of December is Christmas Day -
the day our Lord and Saviour was born on earth in a lowly stable in Bethlehem.
All those years ago his future was mapped out for him, not by man but by God his Heavenly Father . Man played a large part in his life although God the Heavenly Father played a bigger part again in his and in ours due to the years that followed his birth .
A Christmas Carol poem by G.K.Chesterton
Make it Snow !
The Christ-child lay on Mary's lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary's breast
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary's heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world's desire.)
The Christ-child stood on Mary's knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down
