We bought pointsettias but couldn't bring them in the house, because we remembered they could poison the cats! We put up the dcorations but when we set up the nativity, one wiseman, one cow, two sheep, and Joseph are missing. Worst of all... so is baby Jesus! All true and unsettling.. But then I realized the message here for this family of mine. The little plaster baby Jesus is nowhere to be found... because His message is clearly that... All we need to know is, the REAL Baby Jesus is found in our hearts! Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Hey, what a great message, all to often we forget to see what is there in heart instead of in our eyes, We often look at what is missing and in doing so, we miss what we really should be seeing. I hope you got that point I was trying to make because I am not so sure I got it  My point is, we spend so much time grieving over what we do not have, instead of relishing what we do have, thank you very much I really needed that reminder tonight.God bless. |

 First, let me reply that your message here is very clear and profound before I relate my strange yet, perhaps, intriguing idea that I'd like to share with you. Now, utilizing your missing baby Jesus manger scene, you could replace the Christ child with one of your remaining sheep and tell everyone that the sheep in the manger represents the Lamb of God.... Just an idea. God Bless You, Bob <>< |

Amen, ellie, amen! Wonderful message and reminder so worthy to us all, keep the real message of Christmas and Jesus in our hearts, not upon the tree or shelf. Wonderful and Merry Christmas to you and yours. |

And when He's not present in our lives, thing become a tangled mess. A timeless message Ellie, I just looked at it in a different way. But what is so true, is that we keep him in our hearts, for that's what truly matters! |

Oh Ellie, another masterpiece made of a mess-You sure know how to look at things, and I appreciate your great perception and wisdom, which can see the light even when things seem a little dim. Thanks for another good poem, David To put together words & rhyme--and touch a life--is so sublime! Thank God for such precious contact! (D.L.White) |

Seems since 9-11, more people have found Jesus, and I feel quite confident there are people out there who've found Him when visiting this sight where His love abounds through poets like you. May you be richly blessed. Merry Christmas! Rae |
