THEY CAME (9th card)
They came.
They came on camels – (probably),
Lumbering hoofed ships,
On a shifting, sandy sea (wind, lea).
They gave.
Three tokens at least (myrrh, “gum,” gold)
Presents for the King,
In royal David’s household (foretold).
They left.
A different way (Don’t all men?)
Time’s most Focal Point
Confronts, converts, men from sin (Within).
But wait!
Were their gifts alive? (flesh, blood, soul?)
To hearken is best;
Obedience gains the goal (Not dole).
Dear Lord,
Accept these our gifts (howe’er fine)
Earth’s joys signed below.
Make them God forever Thine (Not mine).

In loving gratitude, Unselfish Lord
Use our sons and daughters to spread Thy Word.

Have you noticed churches are having to increase the size of their Prayer Rooms?
I haven’t either. 😦
Churches ARE building “Fellowship Halls” (food) and Gyms (games)
but – – – Prayer Rooms?

SNOW SHAPES

That night the snow came down.
It covered the branches,
But left the bottom brown.
And piled up on limb and twig
Until they looked,
Twice as big
As real life.
It’s “kind-a” funny you know,
What shapes we see,
After a snow.
-eab, Dec. ’64
