We Have Come to Worship the King

They saw the Star in the deep blue sky,
They wondered where and why?
They heard from all around,
They found out where He could be found.

There was a king that wanted to do the same,
He asked who he was and what was his name? 
He sent these wise men to seek this unknown king,
But in his heart was an evil thing.

He sought to take down this new king,
He would do most anything,
He did not want to worship, but to kill,
He did not want someone his place to fill.

They traveled to the little town of Galilee,
So that they might this king see.
In a dream they passed another way,
As they went to see where the newborn king lay.

We have come to worship the King,
And these are the gifts we bring,
The One of which the angels sing,
This is Jesus Christ, the newborn King.

The Weeks Have Been Crazy

There has been a lot to do the past few weeks. Well, even after going through all the forms for the Navy, yesterday I found out that I would not be able to go in the Navy, because of my financial situation. I am going to seek other avenues, so that I can take care of my family and my financial obligations. What I look forward to this Christmas is going to my parent's house and celebrating. We have a couple more weeks before that happens, but it is something that I look forward to this Christmas holiday. It is probably about the only time that we are able to get the whole family together. As the time approaches, it will get a little busier. It will not be so busy that there is not enough time to get alone with God. Life is never so crazy that we cannot set aside the craziness to talk and fellowship with God.

What is this holiday for?
Not for shopping and giving of gifts,
But for sharing and caring for hearts,
That would be lost and in the cold.

What do we celebrate this season?
Jesus should be the reason.
Have we forgotten what happened long ago?
In the little town of Bethlehem.

Why do we take Christ out of Christmas?
Just so we can get all the gifts on our list.
The greatest gift was sent to earth,
And that is why we celebrate His birth.

He alone can bring peace on earth,
He alone is our life's worth,
He gave all that He had to give,
So that we all might live.
