The Thistle's Story by Dawn Campbell
- Growing along the wind blown path,
- A thistle danced in the sun.
- Little thistle, all of creation speaks of its Maker,
- What story have you to tell?
- "My downy bloom of purple hue
- speaks of royalty so true.
- For it was the King of Creation
- born one quiet night in Bethlehem.
- My green leaves and stem draw life from Him
- There is no life cut off by sin.
- It is His life that flows through me,
- Weathering storms so valiantly.
- My fierce stinging thorns speak of a crown
- Worn at Calvary.
- When a sacrifice was made for man
- By the Lord of Eternity."
- Little thistle, how beautifully you portray your Creator
- With royal purple, green and thorn.
- My heart will ponder all these things
- Come this Christmas morn.
Merry Christmas to all the readers of The Campbell Family Journal. We pray for our blog readers regularly, sincerely hoping that you will find in these writings that Jesus is our Immanuel; God with us.
