Joseph’s Musings

This has been a joyous year filled with blessing and answered prayer. Obviously there have been challenges as well. Still, we have seen God’s faithfulness displayed again and again. Many of you have been a special encouragement through your presence, your words and your generous support.

As the years roll by, the message of Christmas is always amazing. “For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son…” Sharing His love with the next generation is a privilege that never grows old. Jesus is the Gift Who changes everything! Merry Christmas!

With love in Christ,

Joseph’s Musings
-by Jim Wood

I’ve not held a baby before . . . does it show?
I don’t want to hurt you. I want you to know
That I want to be the best father I can.
It’s my job to help you grow to a man.

Ten tiny fingers so fragile and new…
Prob’ly they’ll change, but your eyes are so blue.
Lips open wide when I touch your soft cheek,
Yet you’re the King whom these foreigners seek.

Shepherds told stories of angels and light
Music from heaven that filled them with fright
Tidings of peace brought from heaven to earth
Giving us courage and giving us worth.

Mary attends you with tender embrace.
I stand here wiping the tears from my face.
How will the words of the angel come true?
How will salvation be purchased by you?

Warm little bundle, our own little lamb
Now is the promise fulfilled by I AM!
God is now with us! So how shall I lead?
What may I give you since you’re all I need?

How can the God who created deep space
Lie in my arms and gaze into my face?
How can I ever know how to teach you?
You are Messiah and I worship too.
