“Ker-choo!” sneezed baby angel

As the dust blew high.

“I’m sweeping hard, I guess,”

An angel boy replied.

 

“But we cannot waste time

Before our Guests arrive,

They’re coming now by donkey---

Coming down the drive.”

“Ker—choo!” again was heard

As hay was brought to fill a

manger-bed for Jesus,--

To come when all was still.

But first the hay is placed

Inside the feeding trough.

Then covered with a blanket

So clean, and white, and soft.

 

The other baby angels are

Practicing their song

To sing to Baby Jesus, for

They knew right along

 

That soon a holy mother Would birth the Holy Child, And give the world a Savior— As Infant, meek and mild.

Glad angels sang of Jesus

Sang to shepherds, where

They watched their flocks in fields.

Clear music filled the air.

“Give Glory to God on high”

They sang—“In a manger-bed

You’ll find the new-born Jesus—

Believe what He has said.”

The shepherds left their flocks

And went to Bethlehem, where

Jesus, Mary, Joseph

Together greeted them.

There angels sang their song of

Welcome to the Lord.

The shepherds bowed believing,

While worshiping their Lord.

“We thank you, Mother Mary,”

The angels sang in glee.

“We’ll love and praise Him always.

The LORD our GOD is HE ! “

Can you draw a picture of little angels getting ready for Jesus?

Maybe you will want to read the poem again and see what the angels are doing.

Maybe you can think of other things they could be doing, like holding a lantern so there is some light, or bringing the hay in on a little red wagon.

What do you think you would do if you were there? Why not talk about it with friends, or family?

Hope you have a peaceful and loving Christmas. Remember Jesus is the Greatest Gift you can receive. Other gifts just remind us of Him and of the great LOVE He has for us.

Merry Christmas
