Grandma seasoned her food with love
All of her dishes were a notch above
She said she constantly stirred in love
It seemed to me she used recipes from above
Whatever she did was the best in the world
My taste buds were awakened by the food she unfurled

It's not your physical size that matters
It's the size of your spiritual heart
Commanding the forces of the universe to set you apart
So get down on your knees and ask
If you're like me, not very smart

Having shipped jars of honey by ups
The surprising cost gave me no rest
Oh Gods, precious Love was so free
The price he paid for shipping to me
After shipping, did I bring it inside
Is it on my doorstep, where it will reside
God, the most Precious Gift He sent
Without opening, I will never be content
His Love is Sweeter than the sweetest honey
Worth far more than any amount of earthly money
Thank You, God, again for sending Jesus, your son
That I might have eternal life, and the race won

We, the People, assemble at Christmas.
Setting our differences aside.
We calm our spirits from the bustling world, removing our haughty Pride.
Peace arriving at this mystical time of year
brings much Love and Joy with great cheer.
Taking a moment to bow our heads, asking for Peace on Earth and Good Will toward men.
Knowing beyond all Hope, this Love will be fulfilled over and over again.

I heard those Golden Bells on Christmas Day.
Oh, the Peace and Joy it brought into my heart to stay.
The world swirled about me on Christmas Day.
Through tears, I heard him say.
Your Savior is being born today.
I heard the Golden Bells again on Christmas Day
This time with Crystal clarity, I can not explain away
Every Christmas with Jesus is Sweeter than The Christmas before.
Every Christmas, the Love He sends Burns in my heart more than ever before.
The Greatest Gift God gave me. His Son Jesus from His Heart of Love.
I will never be able to repay You, only by trying to share your Precious Love.

Is the intent of the internet good or evil?
The answer to that lies in the data of my retrieval.
If I look for the good, I will find God.
If I look for evil, I will find the devil.
The desires of my mind reveal the inner feelings of my heart.
What I'm revealing may indicate if I'm very smart
Using fire for good. Using fire for evil
My preferences will reveal my feelings to all people

The closer to the end of time
The truer His Word will become
The excitement welling up inside me; I’m looking forward to His return
Sprinting toward the light of the son, oh, how my heart burns
His Great Love, I begin to feel
Come, Jesus, Come, Jesus, for your work will be done
Praise God, Praise God. In the end, we will all become one

Inspired by my friend
Art Lusk KI4SGM
Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood, Tennessee
Seeing a Christmas tree from Heaven
It may bring a tear to your eye
Remembering the Christmases of days gone by
Being decorated with the twinkling stars in the sky
The ornaments of His Everlasting Love
The Star of Bethlem resting above
The presents under the tree, blessings from God to you and me
I bow my head and say thank you, God, for Every Christmas I see

It's not what I expected but more than I could ever imagine
What I imagine, in all likelihood, will never happen
Being open to all that comes my way
It gives the option to choose everyday
By choosing the right option, I will be well on my way
To the grandest dream, I've ever prayed

The more you know, the more responsible you are
If you use your Knowledge wisely, you will shine like a star
If you tell everyone how much you know.
It will undoubtedly lead to an unbearable show
So if you think your knowledge is immeasurable
To your friends, you may not be very pleasurable
