About Me
The sleigh was all packed, The reindeer were fed, But Santa still knelt By the side of the bed. "Dear Father," he prayed, "Be with me tonight, There's much work to do, And my schedule is tight." "I must jump in my sleigh And streak through the sky, Knowing full well That a reindeer can't fly." "I will visit each household, Before the first light, I'll cover the world, And all in one night." "With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof, Amid the soft clatter Of each little hoof." "To get in the house Is the difficult part, So I'll slide down the chimney Of each child's heart." "My sack will hold toys To grant all their wishes, The supply will be endless, Like the loaves and the fishes." "I will fill all the stockings And not leave a track, I'll eat every cookie That is left for my snack." "I can do all these things Lord, Only through You, I just need your blessing, Then it's easy to do." "All this is to honor The birth of the One, That was sent to redeem us ... Your most Holy Son." "So to all of my friends, Least Your glory I rob, Please Lord, remind them Who gave me this job." ~ Warren D. JenningsWhen Santa Claus met Jesus Christ, So the story goes ... He bowed his head, and then he said, "Dear Lord, I need to know." "Every year I fill my sleigh, With lots and lots of toys, And I fly high across the sky, Delivering them with joy." "I get letters from the children, They ask for many things, And so hard I try to satisfy, With each toy that I bring." "It is my mission every year, To reach each child I can, To leave love and joy with every toy, As I fly throughout the land." "But lately, Lord, I'm wondering, Am I doing wrong, To drive my sleigh on Your Birthday, And hear cute Santa songs?" "I'm troubled, for there is no way I would invade your territory, I'd feel very bad, if I made you sad, I do not seek such glory." So then the Lord ... who's very wise, Spoke to Santa's heart direct, "You're a necessary emissary, You are one of my elect." "I'm pleased to see your jolly self, Make so many children smile; I, too, rejoice for girls and boys, And I feel you're most worthwhile." "On my birthday, years ago, In the manger where I lay, You bowed to me on bended knee, You, too, were born that day." "Dear Santa Claus, I've chosen you, My First Ambassador of Cheer, Please celebrate on my birth date, And do this every year." "You're a blessed fantasy and dream, And you're essential on this earth, You're a needed part in all men's hearts, Of everlasting childlike mirth." ~ Virginia (Ginny) Ellis ~ Copyright © 2000
