Dear Reader:

Christmas will soon be here again. How will you observe this wonderful season?

If you are fortunate enough to enjoy the company of family and friends, that is great; but it is the beautiful presence of Jesus which makes it really special. After all, without His Coming there would be nothing to celebrate!

Receiving gifts is most exciting for children, but as the years pass, one realizes that far more important are relationships.

Most vital of all, is a personal relationship with God, who sent the supreme gift of His own Son Jesus to earth on that first Christmas Day to make this possible.

In spite of all the activity, this Christmas can be a time to begin or deepen your own spiritual relationship with God. This can be accomplished by asking Jesus Christ to be your Saviour and Lord. Doing these will allow Him to fill not only your Christmas, but every day with His Joy.

With that purpose in mind, these poems are sent out to you. Please accept God's gracious Gift of Jesus - and life abundant!

Have a joy-filled Christmas and a New Year that glows with hope!

Nora (Honoria Groves)
