    What if . . . Jesus came instead of Santa?

    The Night Before Jesus Came

    T'was the night before Jesus and all through the house,
    Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
    Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care,
    In hopes that Jesus would not stop by there.

    The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
    Not one ever kneeling, or bowing a head.
    And Mom in her rocker with a babe on her lap,
    Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.

    When out of the East there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!

    When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.
    With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray,
    I knew in a moment this must be THE DAY!

    The light of His face made me cover my head.
    It was Jesus! Returning just like He said.
    And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth,
    I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.

    In the Book of Life which He held in His hand,
    Was written the name of every saved man.
    He spoke not a word as He searched for my name;
    When He said, "It's not here" . . my head hung in shame.

    The people whose names had been written with love,
    He gathered to take to His Father above.
    With those who were ready, He rose without sound,
    While all the rest were left standing around.

    I fell to my knees, but it was too late;
    I had waited too long and thus sealed my fate.
    I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight;
    Oh, if only we had been prepared for this night.

    In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
    The time for His coming is drawing near.
    There's only one life and when comes the last call.
    We'll find what He told us was true after all.

    I hope everyone reads every bit of that story!! More than that, I truly hope everyone turns to Him, before it's too late!! Don't let that happen to you!!!

    You'll never see a kid, sitting around the Christmas tree, leave even ONE present unopened!! So why would any of us - not accept the Free gift of Salvation?? It's so easy...all we have to do is Believe!!
