Thought for the Day 12/20/2007

For those of you who celebrate Christmas
-- Remember God and Jesus - in everything!
Christ’s birth is found in Matthew 1-2; Luke 1-2

--A CHRISTMAS ALPHABET
A is for Angels, appearing so bright,
Telling of Jesus that great blessed night.

Birthplace of Jesus by prophet foretold.

There in the stable where He laid His head.

Promised forever to Jesus alone.

Which Magi on camels followed afar.
