Too Early?

"It's too early to think of Christmas,"
I thought one September day.
"Yes, too early to think of Christmas, --"
But I thought of it anyway.

I thought of our Savior
Who came here to earth,
Of angels proclaiming
The news of his birth.

I thought of the mission
He came to fulfill,
His preaching, Gethsem'ne
His cross on the hill.

I thought of the glory
That He has received;
His love and example,
The laws He's decreed.

I thought of the welcome
Which He will extend
To all who are faithful
And endure to the end.

"It's too early to think of Christmas?"
I hope this may never be
Because we should remember Jesus
And think of Him constantly.

by Robert and Rita Bartholomew
Christmas 1976
