"Daddy's Hands"

 

 

I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
and reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare
you could read quite a story in the calluses and lines
years of work and worry had left their mark behind

 

I remember daddy's hands how they held my momma tight
and patted my back for something done right
there are things that i've forgotten that I loved about the man
but I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands

 

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
there was always love in daddy's hands

 

I remember daddy's hands working til they bled
sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If  I could do things over, I'd live my life again
and never take for granted the love in daddy's hands

 

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
there was always love in daddy's hands

 

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
there was always love in daddy's hands

"Why is Jesus better than Santa Claus"

 

 
 
Santa lives at the North Pole ...
JESUS is everywhere.

 

Santa rides in a sleigh ...
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

 

Santa comes but once a year ...
JESUS is an ever present help.

 

Santa fills your stockings with goodies ...
JESUS supplies all your needs.

 

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited ...
JESUS stands at your door and knocks,
and then enters your heart when invited.

 

You have to wait in line to see Santa ...
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

 

Santa lets you sit on his lap ...
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

 

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is
"Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?" ...
JESUS knew our name before we were born...
Not only does He know our name,
He knows our address too.
He knows our history and future and
He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

 

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly ...
JESUS has a heart full of love

 

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO ...
JESUS offers health, help and hope.

 

Santa says "You better not cry" ...
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

 

Santa's little helpers make toys ...
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts,
repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

 

Santa may make you chuckle but ...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

 

While Santa puts gifts under your tree ...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree....
The cross.

 

Put Christ Back In Christmas...
Jesus Is Still The Reason For The Season!

 

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16

 

Have a Blessed Day
