Christmas Love- Did you know







Christmas Love- Did you know


“Born this happy morning”
Love / a baby/ yet before all creation
Blind/ now I see
Deaf though
I did hear  
Essential / Love/ Did you know this love 
Not charity, never obscure


“...Moving mountains from its bedrock, yet I live without love” *
Tallying wrongs
Injustices 
Love - is not easy
Remembering those who put up with everything and anything /trust and hope no matter what
Consider this Christmas love
“And the people that remain reasonable and kind, 
I just feel like they need a special parade right now.”
They do.” *


God has purposes we cannot see—unfolding in the most difficult circumstances.
Quiet reverence/ face to face love
God knows what is on the inside-words and actions are not always necessary
Accepting the lot in this life
No time to despair over life, deep seated joy**
“God will give you all the grace you need in every situation you face.”****


Christmas love -did you know
Heaven’s perfect lamb
Seeing, walking, hearing 
Dead will live again 
Did you know - newness
Saving of sons and daughters 
Evergreen, light in all darkness
Crimson bow over all that is ununderstandable


 Did you know
“But one day, when Jesus arrives, we will see clearly, face-to-face”
“Born this happy morning”, Beginning and End
“Every tear from our eye wiped away”
Oh, how He loves, how He loves us 
Love remains / today 
The greatest is given on this Christmas Day


Christmas Love- Did you know, Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta

About this poem: Christmas Love- Did you know is a poem about the love God has for us. God incarnate, becoming a man in Mary. Jesus lives, dies, and rose again to give us life and now seated in heaven. Thankful that once blind to salvation I now see. Many things happen in our lives that we only see in part and don’t understand and are heavy weight. The promise of God‘s love is always with us and someday all will be made clear and new to a wondrous eternity complete in every way that we now lack or struggle. Mary did you know is a song that covers the Love that never ends and was from all beginning for us.- Joe Holuta

"Love... it’s never rude, crude, or indecent—it’s not self-absorbed. Love isn’t easily upset. Love doesn’t tally wrongs or celebrate injustice; but truth—yes, truth—is love’s delight!  Love puts up with anything and everything that comes along; it trusts, hopes, and endures no matter what.  Love will never become obsolete….” 1 Cor 13: 5-8 voice
