The Christmas Tree: From a Manger to a Cross

This is not an original writing from me.  Someone shared this little poem with us yesterday, and I wanted to pass it on in the spirit of Christmas:

The Christmas Tree

"From a tree a manger was made,
The First Christmas, in it He laid.

From a tree a Cross was made,
On it, for our sins, the price He paid.
Each year as my tree I adorn,
I give thanks for the day He was born.
Gently I place ornaments of gold,

Knowing my life is His to hold.
Trusting Him to take care of me,
I praise Him as I decorate my tree.

"I Am the Way, the Truth and the Light," said He.
That's why I put lights on my Christmas tree."


(Author unknown)

May the Light of Christ be your reason for the season!

  4. Such a sweet poem! I did a little investigating, and it's written by someone named K. Ross (no idea if they are male or female). I've seen several, longer versions of it. I can send it to you, if you'd like that, Pam.
