- Twas' 11 days before
Christmas, around 9:38 when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's
gate. Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air, they could
hardly believe all the beauty they saw there. They were filled with such joy,
they didn't know what to say, they remembered nothing of what had happened
earlier that day. "Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a
mouse. "This is heaven." declared a small boy. "We're spending
Christmas at God's house." When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their Savior, the children gathered near. He looked at them and
smiled, and they smiled just the same. Then He opened His arms and He called
them by name. And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring, those
children all flew into the arms of their King. As they lingered in the
warmth of His embrace, one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face. As if
He could read all the questions she had He gently whispered to her, "I'll
take care of your mom and dad." Then He looked down on earth, the world
far below He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow and woe. Then He closed His eyes
and He outstretched His hand, "Let My power and My presence re-enter this
land!" "May this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
"I'm taking back My nation. I'm taking back My schools!" Then He and
the children stood up without a sound. "Come now my children, let me show
you around." Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran. All
displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can. And I heard Him proclaim as
He walked out of sight, "in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE
LIGHT. "Written by Cameo Smith, Mt. Wolf, PA
