Mistletoe over the archway

Carolers singing joyfully

Remember the manger

The meaning of

Christmas

Thanks Queen. But I'm not so wonderful. Maybe my words are but I believe they come from God.

you are Younique. We are all unique because we're all different in some way. So, it's ok to like yourself and be comfortable in yourself. This poem is very good Robert. Yes, I believe the words come from God and it is admirable of you to give Him the glory. Love yourself because He loved you first and thinks you're wonderful.

Lovely sentiment, well written, Robert. With our Savior's birth, the world was filled with joy, for we had hope incarnate. What better reason to rejoice every December?
