Christmas 2008 was lean and the family decided since none of us felt it prudent to buy lavish gifts for each other, we would give gifts we made ourselves. My husband and I enjoy photographing God’s world and the wonders of His creation, so we gave photos we thought each family member would enjoy. This poem accompanied each of those gifts.
Our gift to you this Christmas
Is a testimony to
God’s wonderful creation
Just made for me and you.
The beauty He created—
The mountains, seas, and skies,
The sunsets, streams, and waterfalls—
All made just for our eyes.
This grandeur God’s created,
Attests to His great love;
Reminds us of the goodness
Given by Him above.
God further showed how much He cares
By the gift of His Son to all.
If we’ll have faith and trust in Him
And answer His loving call.
That’s the reason we celebrate Christmas
And gift the ones we love,
’Cause God gave us His matchless gift,
The Savior from above.
