LITTLE STAR

God created a little star, and oh how it loved to shine!
It was smaller than all the rest, but it did not mind!

It was proud to serve it's maker and did so with all it's might!
God had hung it on nothing to brighten up the night!

The little star shined with all it's power and for all it was worth!"
One day God told it; "Go down now, and "SHINE" over the place of my Son's birth!"

So, the little star obeyed the Lord of all Creation!
It went down and shined it's light on "The One to Rule the Nations!

To all the bigger stars this little star was just a little unknown stranger!
Yet, God loved it most because it stood guard over baby Jesus as he lay in that lowly manger!

Do you have the qualities of "Little Star" shinning ever so bright?
Do you shine for our Lord and Savior with "ALL" of your strength and might?

Little Star...
