The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,

But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed.


"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.

There's much work to do and my schedule is tight.


I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky,

Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly.


I will visit each household before the first light,

I'll cover the world and all in one night.


With sleigh bells a-ringing , I'll land on each roof,

Amid the clatter of each little hoof.


To get in the house is the difficult part,

So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart.


My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes.

The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes.


I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track.

I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack.


I can do all these things Lord, only through You,

I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do.


All this is to honor the birth of the One,

That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son.


So to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob,

Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job."



Santa is one of the angels of God which recognizes that he could not complete his mission without the power of God. We too can accomplish anything in the name of Christ.

 

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. - Philippians 4:19-20

In being a Life Enrichment Coordinator, it is my job to schedule activities as well as the entertainment. I have to say I have been blessed with the entertainers which come into our facility. My residents tell me what a great job I have done, but I tell my residents, "It isn't me, it's God. He brings them to me. I don't even know where to start looking.” I tell my residents we as believers are earth bound angels expected to share the love of Christ. 

As the hymnal says, "To God be the glory, great things He hath done."

I know "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
