The Holy Spirit begins to move,
A gentle wind, a sacred groove.
Through hearts united, pure and true,
God’s love blooms in me and you.
We are His hands, His feet, His light,
Guided by faith through day and night.
A mission given, a sacred mirth,
To share the news of Jesus’ birth.
The world may waver, hearts may stray,
Yet love prevails, it lights the way.
So here we stand, in joy and worth,
Proclaiming Christ, our Savior’s birth.

Christmas comes with a gentle glow,
A season of wonders, hearts to know.
A time to believe, to hold, to see,
The magic of love in you and me.
The twinkle of lights, the carols sung,
The joy of gifts for old and young.
Yet deeper still, a truth appears,
The power of miracles through the years.
A babe in a manger, humble and small,
Bringing a hope that transcends us all.
A love so pure, it lights the way,
Through winter nights and every day.
So let us believe in the season’s charm,
In hearts that heal, in hands that warm.
For Christmas reminds us of what’s divine:
The miracle of love, your heart, and mine.

The camel train to Bethlehem was quite small
Three Kings Following a Star hearing God's Call
The King of the ages was born that very day
No room in the inn. In a straw manager, he lay
God in human form sent to save the lost souls of men
The animals bowed low showing their homage to him
The camel train to Bethelem was blessed that day
Following a light in their heart that will forever stay
Old King Herrod was deceived, his heart too dark to see
The Glorious Star of Bethelem that lasts through eternity
The camel train to Bethelem made untold history that day
Leading mankind to the Star that remains in our hearts today

Mat 2:1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
It’s the most wonderful time of the year,
When joy fills the air and loved ones draw near.
The world seems to sparkle, both far and wide,
With twinkling lights and hearts open wide.
The laughter of children, the songs that we sing,
The warmth of the fire, the hope that it brings.
Snow softly falling, a blanket of white,
Transforming the earth in a magical light.
Families gather, their hearts intertwined,
Sharing sweet moments that memories bind.
Kindness and giving, a season of cheer,
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Carols resound in the crisp winter air,
Reminding us all of a love so rare.
A child in a manger, a star shining bright,
The promise of peace on that holy night.
So cherish these days, let love take its place,
In every warm hug, in every kind face.
For this is the season to hold what is dear,
The most wonderful time of the year.

In the quiet of December's embrace, I sit,
A silent night, wrapped in a wordless knit.
Moonbeams dance with tree lights so bright,
In the hush, a symphony of starlight.
Children slumber, their dreams unfold,
Yet my heart, in the silence, remains untold.
A plush red blanket, a comforting shroud,
I gaze through the window, in silence, endowed.
The wintry woods stand in tranquil repose,
As the night, like a river, silently flows.
How to find hope on this long, silent eve?
In the whispers of shadows, what stories weave?
I take a breath, seek solace in the still,
Yet my heart resists, an unquenchable thrill.
In the quiet, a journey to hope's soft light,
A dance with shadows on this silent night.

The Holy Spirit of Christmas came to us long ago,
When in a humble manger, divine love began to glow.
A baby born in Bethlehem, a gift from Heaven above,
Sent by our gracious Father, a token of His love.
For those who seek and welcome Him within,
The Holy Spirit of Christmas breaks the chain of sin.
It lives within us daily, a light that never fades,
Guiding, comforting, and strengthening in life’s trials and charades.
Oh, the Spirit of Christmas, pure and bright,
Fills our hearts with hope, joy, and light.
It whispers peace in the quiet of night,
And shines through faith with heavenly might.
So let us honor the miracle of that sacred morn,
When the Savior of the world to us was born.
Through every season, let His Spirit remain,
Living in our hearts, again and again.

It’s Sunday, the air is calm and still,
The week of Thanksgiving, a time to feel.
No complaints on my lips, no requests to impart,
Just gratitude flowing straight from my heart.
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of this day,
For breath in my lungs, for moments to pray.
For the rising sun and the life You bestow,
For Your grace that sustains and helps me grow.
No matter the trials, the highs or the lows,
Your love is the anchor my spirit knows.
So today, I pause, with no need to strive,
Just thankful, O God, to simply be alive.
Amen!

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year
That draws our hearts so very near.
No matter where we roam
We always try to return Home.
Family, Friends and Good Food abound
Little Children playing all around.
As we bow our heads and give thanks to GOD above
Let us always remember HIS SON JESUS, HE sent with HIS LOVE.
In battles fought, in scars they bear,
Veterans stand, a solemn prayer.
Freedom's price, they've truly known,
Their courage, a legacy sown.
Through wars and trials, they have stood,
A testament to brotherhood.
Our duty clear, to safeguard the gain,
For their sacrifice, not in vain.
Let gratitude be our heartfelt song,
For veterans brave, courageous and strong.
A pledge to keep the flame alight,
To honor them, both day and night.
