The legend of tinsel tells a tale
uniquely spun;
Long ago, in Bethlehem, of mother and Son.
Mary and Jesus left the city to hide
From Herod and his soldiers, and they entered
inside ...
A cave. A night's rest was all they desired,
For the length of their journey had made them
quite tired.
Throughout the night, while the two were asleep,
A tiny little spider, through the cave, did
creep ...
Bound and determined; such a curious thing!!!
What was it that the dawning of the day would
bring ...
But cobwebs shimmering in the morning sun?
What had the busy little spider done?
By divine inspiration, it took control
And spun a beautiful web which covered up the
hole ...
So the entrance to the cave was unnoticed by
all.
They were, both, safely hidden when the solders
came to call.
It was covered with cobwebs; what a perfect
place to hide!!!
When the soldiers went past the cave, they never
looked inside.
When morning came, spider webs were glistening
everywhere!
Mary knew God had hidden them and kept them in
His care.
Tinsel on a
Christmas tree, such beauty to behold;
Symbolic of the spiders web, so the legends
told.
"I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be
praised:
so shall I be saved from mine enemies."
Psalm 18:3
