Other Poems by Connie Hinnen Cook
when the shepherds came to call? Did she wish they'd found a nicer place instead of lowly stall? Was she yearning for a perfumed bath, someone to plait her hair? Did she wish her Son a finer bed with soft, warm blankets there? Or did joy fill her grateful heart and overflow with awe, Remembering the angel's words and what her eyes now saw. For in her spirit Mary knew this Son whom she adored Was God's begotten Chosen One, herSavior and her Lord! So, Mary murmured not at all, no palace was more grand ~ The King of kings was ushered in exactly as God planned. And so a lesson for all time this wisdom to impart: Don't be absorbed with worldly show, God looks upon the heart! --Connie "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." (Luke 2:11-12 KJV) |

About the Poet
IN MEMORIAM
I'm just a servant of the Lord that wants to magnify Him
through poetry,
and to cause others to focus on Him.
