AMEN Sis glad the font colour better I forgot how to reset it in Advanced Editing mode at first hehe. Hope you heard them music if not let me know will give you the link to the church web site Carols page. I am planning on converting all the music to MP3's which is a better quality although large Media files hehe. All the best for the New Year.

Lovely faith poem. And a great one for the contest. I plea to join Christ and make Him your Savior. Very fresh art work for a poem of faith. I like it. It's a watch tower, I think. Like Jesus Who looks out for our souls.

And lay our lives at His feet.

Thanks friend appreciate your great review. Hope you heard the music. If not can give you a link to our church site I run where I have the Carols page for this time of year. Ie browser is best for the music and there are three other carols written a lot earlier than this one as well.

Thanks jenny wondering if you caught the music works best in Internet Explorer. If you missed the music (plus my other carols) here is a link to a special carols page on our church site I run and I put this page up each Christmas. Enjoy! http://nepeanbaptistoz.witnesstoday.org/Carols-Songs.html I am planning on converting the sound files to MP3 maybe for next year.

Y es we get caught up in the festive enjoyment without realising the real message of the nativity. I get your message loud and clear, and I like your poem. A well written poem with no need for changes. Mary

Nicely done, Sankey, and a great reminder to us all that He IS the "reason for the season". Without Christ being born to Mary and Joesph and laid in a manager in the little town of Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago, there would be no Christmas season to celebrate.

Best of luck to you in the contest. :}

This is a beautiful and heartfelt poem, Geoff. I don't know where the music comes in though. I checked for a button to push, but can't find any.

What browser are you using? Thanks for coming by. This was inspired at 5am one morning had to dive out of bed to get it down. Music works in IE Browser or I can send you the Midi file I plan to transfer them to MP3's should have done that already. Grrr

reply by Jay Squires on 24-Dec-2014

I don't use the Google Browser since it doesn't allow for the floating dialogue box allowing me to make comments as I'm reading down the screen. I'll try to read it there.

reply by the author on 24-Dec-2014

Look for them on this page see if the music works over there. http://nepeanbaptistoz.witnesstoday.org/Carols-Songs.html

The link was good, Geoff. I got to listen to it. The problem was when I listened to your music, I couldn't read the lyrics. The music, though, was beautiful. What kind of instrument is it. It's not a piano.

reply by the author on 24-Dec-2014

Done on my Encore Music programme I now have a later version of the programme should go back and see if I can improve it as I said needs converting to MP3 shoulda doe it before this!

No, I remember listening to them the first time you posted them. It was very near the time you did the sound piece for my Trining chapter. I enjoyed it.

Comment from Dawn Munro

Excellent

I adored this - that first stanza is a whopper - so true and definitely something to consider. The gifts were brought to the King by the Wise men, and for me, I find the greatest pleasure in worship at Christmas, in voices raised in praise, and in the kindness that seems to increase in my fellow man - presents aren't at all on my list (we exchange gifts throughout the year). Blessings to you and yours this season. Merry Christmas.

Thanks Dawn debated whether worth the expense of the book baloon but one of my favourite writers and reviewers sort of dared me and I did want to get the message across hope you can hear the music it works better on IE Browser. Thanks for being first cab off the rank. I was inspired to write the start of this at 5am one morning and dived out of bed to get it down!

It was my pleasure - no, sadly I couldn't hear the music, but I did enjoy the wonderful artwork you selected, :)
