Welcome to My First "Musing"

Welcome to "Ellen's Musings"! Thanks so much for stopping by. You are greatly welcome here. 
A little bit about my blog and me:
I (Ellen) love to write and read, and I do so with a passion for Christ. This blog will include all of my "musings," whenever I feel like writing down a thing or two. I don't promise any regular posts, nor do I promise any one type of writing. Some days it may be a poem, and other days a story. You never know! And whatever I write, it's all for God's glory! 
For my first post, I completed a poem titled "God's Great Gift," which talks of what happened that Christmas Day. As we approach this special day, I hope you know how much you're loved.
This day and every day.

God’s Great Gift

Love came down to die for us

It did not come by plane, car, or bus.

It was a Heavenly Being, a Righteous One,

Who came in the form of a Baby Son.

He was born by a woman and laid in a cradle of hay

So that we might all come, and have hope while we pray.

His Father sent Him down to die for the sake of all,

There is no sacrifice like this, that He obeyed the call,

Leaving His palace of splendor, His gates of gladness,

To come down to this earth, this earth full of sadness.

Christmas is the twenty-fifth of December;

This is the day on which we all remember

That Jesus Christ is our loving Savior, our selfless God,

Who leads us now with staff and rod.

Really, Christmas is not just one day a year,

But a joyous thought that could bring us all cheer,

If only we stop oft and think on such a glorious thought.

God’s sacrifice saved this earth from the trap in which we were caught.

Every day is Christmas, in a way, and Jesus deserves to be praised,

For He, the Righteous, Holy One, was born, and killed, and raised,

To give us hope and endless life,

To give us a promise amidst the pain and strife.

Who has greater love than He,

Who gave His Life for you and me?

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." JOHN 15:13

And (my personal favorite):

"For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life as a ransom for many." MATTHEW 20:28

I hope you enjoyed this little "musing"! Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments :-). I love hearing from readers.
