T'was the nite before JESUS
by Splovengates Sat Dec 24, 2011 9:21 pm
T'was the night before JESUS returned,
and all through the house,
Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain on the self without much care,
in hopes that Jesus would not come there.
The children were getting ready to crawl into bed,
Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.
And Mom in her rocking chair with baby on her lap,
watching the Late Show while I took a nap.
When out of the East there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!
The light of His face made me cover my head,
It was Jesus!
returning just like He said.
And though I prossessed worldly wisdom and wealth,
I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.
In the Book of Life which He held in His hand,
Was written the name of every saved man.
He spoke not a word as He searched for my name;
When He said "It's not here" my head hung in shame.
The people whose names had been written with love,
He gathered to take to His Father above.
With those who were ready He rose without a sound.
While all rest were left standing around.
I fell to my knees, but it was too late;
I had waited too long and thus sealed my fate.
I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight;
Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.
In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
The coming of Jesus is very near.
There's only one life and when comes the last call
We'll find that the Bible was true after all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

"Things are looking very favorable for today into tomorrow night. Be ready between sunday and monday night, or maybe tuesday or wednesday. Could also be thursday but definitely by friday.... probably next week, monday or late tuesday night, wednesday morning to hear the RV and should be cashing in on the following tuesday the 1st of the month. Sooner more than later. This is an education in patience. GO RV GO Splovengates/CaptJerry

[i]Good Morning and Merry Christmas....smile
This is the man made Christmas on this day, our Lord Jesus Christ was born on Aug. the 24. So do as we do make all around you full of love and just remember this time for all. And give your love again in Aug. its only the love that really counts. At least we should get the real Birth of Christ right. Love to all around the world and good Night...
