During the delivery of “goodies” to our shut-ins I had the privilege of visiting with Edna Barnes. Edna is a member of Burlington Baptist. Edna will be 94 her next birthday.
She is Leroy Edward’s aunt, and the only surviving Child of Josiah and Melissa Edwards, Leroy’s grandparents. She still lives by herself. Josiah was one of the first deacons at Burlington.
Edna says she remembers her grandparents and others talking about the Civil war. Her grandfather, my great-grandfather, Levi Edwards, was 13 years old in 1860 in East Tennessee, when the Civil war started. Edna loves her Lord, and is a joy to be around.

Don't Forget Jesus
To reflect on Jesus Christ
The wonder of His lowly birth
Brings meaning to our lives
There really is no other reason
We celebrate this day
The birth of God's precious son
And the life He willingly gave
But so much seems to distract us
In the busy-ness of our lives
We lose our focus in all the happenings
Not knowing, we leave out Christ
We lose sight of the true meaning
As we endlessly rush about
Trying to find that perfect gift
Seems to cloud our Saviour out
We need to stop and reflect awhile
Remembering our precious Lord
His birth, His life and sacrifice
And all that He stands for
For though the world may celebrate
It seems though for other reasons
Let's keep in mind that Jesus Christ
Is the true meaning of the season
