Heavenly Gates



At long last the lifetime journey had come to an end, the pain, the suffering, and loneliness had all vanished and there in front of her were Golden Gates, she sat staring in awe from the wheelchair which had become a part of her life over the last years. Then the gates opened and gazing into the multitude of faces one caught her eye, jumping up she ran through the crowd and straight into the arms of her beloved husband who had been waiting patiently for this day! Their time on Earth had been a blessing to family and friends, but together again in Paradise was the real treasure! A new life in a new home, built just for those who are willing to follow the Savior!

As a Baby, Jesus Came

                           As a baby, Jesus came
                      From His home above
               He left His throne, and who He was
                     To teach us how to love.

                      As a baby, Jesus came
                  Wrapped in swaddling cloth;
                 Willingly He took on humanity,
                 Though He was one with God.
                                               
                      As a baby, Jesus came
                      To one day grow to be
                 The savior of the human race,
                   For people like you and me.

                      As a baby, Jesus came
                      As God’s eternal light
                 That will never be extinguished,
                    But forever shine out bright.

                      As a baby, Jesus came
                     The hope of eternal life,
                  Reconciling us back to God,
                  Giving meaning to our strife.

                      As a man, Jesus died,
                 His blood poured out for all,
                   Cleaning and forgiving us,
                       For this was His call.
                                   
                  Through it all we can live on
                   With Jesus Christ our Lord
            Who was a baby that first Christmas
               To give us all an amazing reward.
