Dear Ones in Jesus, David Smith is the lay preacher/poet that we have been praying for and he is doing great now. Thank you one and all for your prayers.

My Brother sent me a couple of his poems, and this two are very suited for this very day. Read and be blessed.

Merry Christmas! Valerie


The Real Christmas Story

By David Smith December 18, 2012



“Twas the Night before Christmas and all through the town

The cattle were lowing; the inn-keeper wore a frown.

Mary in a stable, Lying in the hay,

Anticipating the birth, Of the first Christmas Day.



Born in a manger, the flocks in the field

The lambs as they wander for the good shepherd to appear;

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter

Even King Herod knew something was the matter.



“A King is born!” the Wise Men had to say

Herod was anxious to eliminate Children, that day

The King had his exodus, to Egypt he flew

The Old Testament predicted of his prophesy so true

All the parables and miracles become clear

He would we worshiped by believers so dear



To believe in his name; He is the light

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Interpretation of the Twelve Days of Christmas

By David Smith January 2, 2008

The Twelve Days of Christmas to Christ we must look

He is the author and finisher of the Bible, the book

A partridge in a pear tree

Christ the LORD the foundation to see

Symbolizing a hen that changes a life

To keep predators away from the chosen and right

On the second day, books old and new

The Old and New Testament as turtle doves shine through

Three French hens are Faith, Hope and Love

In Second Corinthians those symbols shine from above

Four Calling birds as the Gospel we preach

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John for the world to teach

The first five books as five golden rings

Precious truth what a Saviour brings

Six geese a-laying: six working days

Creation of the world for a Sabbath rest that pays

Seven swans a swimming, a believer can excel

Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, buoyancy quite well

Eight maids a milking; The Beatitudes so grand

Matthew Five, Three to ten, for believers to understand

Nine ladies dancing; the fruit of the Spirit

What joy in Galatians as we add here to it

Ten LORDS a leaping: the Commandments perfect and true

From Exodus the law, Christ’s perfection through

Eleven Pipers piping a pure clear sound

Eleven faithful apostles, the traitor was not around

Twelve drummers drumming: Twelve points in the Apostles Creed

How Christ was on the Cross, His finished work, our need

Humiliation and resurrection to be Lord of Lords

His crown of glory as Twelve Days of Christmas soared

The True-love is the Father who created life in glory

The symbols of Christmas; Christ tells the story
