IF YOU LOOK FOR ME AT CHRISTMAS

I received the following poem just this morning via email from a friend.  It's too good not to pass on.  As I was checking for the author (who, by the way, is unknown), I came across the following devotional site that seems to be filled with scads of poems and short stories.  In case you'd like to check it out, it's http://www.devotions.co.uk/healyou.shtml.

    IF YOU LOOK FOR ME AT CHRISTMAS

          If you look for Me at Christmas,
               you won't need a special star--
          I'm no longer just in Bethlehem,
               I'm right there where you are.
          You may not be aware of Me
               Amid the celebrations--
          You'll have to look beyond the stores
               and all the decorations.
          But if you take a moment
               from your list of things to do
          And listen to your heart, you'll find
               I'm waiting there for you.
          You're the one I want to be with,
               you're the reason that I came,
          And you'll find Me in the stillness
               as I'm whispering your name.
                            Love,
                                Jesus
