> Well, Thursday is about to become history, at least here in North America. 
> For those of you in other countries, it's already Friday morning or 
> afternoon.  Whatever time of day it is as you read this, I hope and pray 
> that, by God's matchless grace and His providential care, that you all had 
> a good day today or are having one.

> Corinne J. Metcalf is back with us again with another one of her poems, 
> this one having the title of "God's Gift of Love," rendered as follows:
>
> Love was God's first gift to men,
> It was love that gave us Jesus;
> God gave to us His only Son
> from sin and death He'd free us.
>
> Christmas is all about Jesus!
> Christmas is all about love!
> Love and the gift of a Savior
> We're so undeserving of.
>
> We can know the love of Christmas
> If the Christ Child we receive.
> God's gift is ours for the asking,
> If by faith we just believe.
>
> Receive Him as Lord and Savior,
> He's the hope that lies in us;
> Our only hope of eternal life,
> He's the One in whom we trust.
>
> Hold Him in your arms of love,
> Be comforted by His peace;
> Rest in His heart of forgiveness,
> In His love that will never cease.
>
> Everyone needs to love and be loved
> And to know the Savior so true.
> Fall in love with the Little Lord Jesus--
> He'll never stop loving you.
>
> You know, after having read that, I can see in my mind's eye the late 
> Pastor Karolyn Phillips composing a tune to this one, can't you? It would 
> have been interesting to hear how it would have turned out.
>
> And now may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob just keep us safe, 
> individually and collectively, throughout this night or day and especially 
> in these last days in which we live.  Your Christian friend and brother, 
> Paul
