Christmas came...a special day, even strangers wished me well.
Everyone had a good word to say and some had a story to tell.
The gifts looked great. I got a cap, a shirt, a tie and socks,
but the best was not the gifts and wrap, it was the love that was in the box.
Some gifts cost money, others cost time, they all are welcome to me.
It doesn't matter if the cards don't rhyme or the meaning is difficult to see.
Someone said, "It's the thought that counts," even if the thought is socks.
What's important is not the amounts but the love that is in the box.
God made a box from his special plan and placed himself inside.
The tiny baby became a man and for our sins he died.
He alone is able to save and open sin's prison locks.
The only key is what he gave...his love that was in the box.
Best wishes to you and yours on this traditional birthday of Jesus.
