While flipping through my Bible this morning to decide on a scripture to write about for Saints and Scriptures Sunday, one of my bookmarks kept falling out. I'd pick it up put it back and it would fall out again. After going through this 2 or 3 times, I looked at the bookmark, and this is what was printed there.
The Legend of The Sand Dollar
There's a pretty little legend
That I would like to tell
Of the birth and death of Jesus
Found in this lowly shell.
If you examine closely
You'll see that you find here
Four nail holes and a fifth one
Made by a Roman's spear
On one side the Easter lily
Its center is the star
That appeared unto the shepherds
And led them from afar.
The Christmas poinsettia
Etched on the other side
Remind us of His Birthday
Our Happy Christmastide.
Now break the center open
And here you will release
The five white doves awaiting
To spread Good Will and Peace
This simple little symbol,
Christ left for you and me
To help us spread His Gospel
Through all eternity.
How beautiful is that. No known author.
Have a blessed week. Come back tomorrow, we start recipes for Easter.
