While at the mall a number of years ago, a mother with her four year old nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler Christmas is the holiday Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his mom, “where’s the line to see Jesus”?
From this question came the inspirational song, Where’s the Line to See Jesus, the lyrics of which were written by Steve and Christ Loesch. It is sung by Becky Kelley at tinyurl.com/2df55zp
Christmas time was approaching
Snow was starting to fall
Shoppers choosing their presents
People filling the mall
Children waiting for Santa
With excitement and glee
A little boy tugged my sweater
Looked up and asked me
Where’s the line to see Jesus?
Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday
Why don’t we see Him more?
As I stood in amazement
At this message profound
I looked down to thank him
He was no where around
The little boy at the mall
Might as well have had wings
As the tears filled my eyes
Thought I heard him sing
Where’s the line to see Jesus?
Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday
Why don’t we see Him more?
Where’s the line to see Jesus?
He was born for me
Santa Claus brought me presents
But Christ gave His life for me
In the blink of an eye
At the sound of His trump
We’ll all stand in line at His throne
Every knee shall bow down
Every tongue will confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
Where’s the line?
Where’s the line?
Where’s the line for the Lord?

To my friends, may you have a Blessed and Merry Christmas!
THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most. – Ruth Carter Stapleton
The Light 
People stand in boring lines
for Santa at each crowded mall,
for we’re in avaricious times
and want to have it all.
There is a line to see the Lord,
but it isn’t very long.
Some think it’s what they can’t afford,
and some feel they don’t belong.
And some don’t want to give it up,
the life of bright impatient bling,
to trade it for a holy cup,
then have to drink the thing.
“Winner dies with most toys”, it’s said,
but most or not, they’re still dead.
