Christmas is For the Kids

Toys galore in every store
Visits with Santa
Sleigh rides and more
Happy children all around
Christmas is for the kids.

Photo albums and memories of Christmases past
Drinking cocoa and cider, lost in the nostalgia
Because Christmas, after all, is for the kids.

But some memories are painful
For some, “Joy to the World” is nowhere to be found
“Peace on Earth” is more of a great sentiment
And not a reality
Oh well - Christmas is for the kids.

But what if there’s more?
What if the carols have a deeper meaning?
What if Christmas is not just for the kids?

The God of the universe became human
Our Creator took the form of a humble infant
If anyone is worthy of a golden bejeweled cradle, it is the Lord
Instead, He was placed in a feeding trough
So that we might have life
This Christmas gift is for everyone.

Honestly, Why?

Honestly, I don't know what else to say. Honestly, I don't know what else to pray. Are my prayers falling on deaf ears? I have said ...
