An invisible red thread
connects those who are
destined to meet
regardless of time,
place or circumstance.
The thread may
stretch or tangle,
but will never break.
-An Ancient Chinese Belief
“Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth –
everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”
Isaiah 43: 5 - 7
There is a little girl trembling
on a cold December morn
Cryin’ for Momma’s arms
At an orphanage just outside
a little China town
Where the forgotten are
But half a world away I hang
The stockings by the fire
And dream about the day
When I can finally call you mine
It’s Christmas time again
but you’re not home
Your family is here and yet
you’re somewhere else alone
So tonight I pray that God will
come and hold you in His arms
And tell you from my heart,
I wish you a Merry Christmas
As I hang the tinsel on the tree
and watch the twinkling lights
I’m warmed by the fire’s glow
Outside the children tumble
in a wonderland of white
And make angels in the snow
And half a world away you try
Your best to fight the tears
And hope that heaven’s angels
Come to carry you here
It’s Christmas time again
but you’re not home
Your family is here and yet
you’re somewhere else alone
So tonight I pray that God will
come and hold you in His arms
And tell you from my heart,
I wish you a Merry Christmas
And Christmas is a time
to celebrate the Holy Child
And we celebrate
His perfect gift of love
He came to us to give His life
and prepare a place for us
So we could have a
home with Him above
It's Christmas time again
and now you're home.
Your family is here so you
will never be alone
so tonight before you go to sleep,
I'll hold you in my arms
and tell you from my heart,
I wish you a Merry Christmas.
Third Day - Merry Christmas
