Some Kind Of Different

Some kind of different
The name of book
Popped into my head
Like drawn to a nook.

This year is almost ended,
Memories I find.
Come to the forefront
As this poem comes to mind.

I search for the words
To convey what I feel
Traditions I ponder
What makes Christmas Real?

Advent candles at home?
Readings to make?
Cookies and treats
Visit home shall I take?

What about trees,
Villages and lights?
Christmas is filled
with so many delights!

But really let’s think
What makes Christmas true?
It’s all of God’s action
What HE meant to do.

This morning we read
About the “Great Fall”
It didn’t surprise him
Not one bit at all.

All in God’s plan
His glory to show
To all of his people
Who Struggle below.

God’s mercy shines forth
In the work of his Son
By one great act of mercy
Satan’s plan was undone.

To make Christmas real
Beyond Santa’s and gifts
Consider this fact
Belief in God NOT MYTHS!

So join me today
As some kind of different we find
To make Christmas matter
To whom we are twined.
