WHERE THE GIFTS ~ OF THE MAGI ~ APPROPRIATE FOR A YOUNG CHILD ?
V ISIT OF THE MAGI ~ from the EAST ~ to BETHLEHEM
I S an important incident in the Biblical narrative of the INCARNATION
S HEPHERDS who visited JESUS were Ordinary Folk ~ like YOU & I
I N the MAGI ~ we have visitors of Influence & Importance
T HIS demonstrated that the INCARNATION was significant to ALL !
O NE of the Gifts was GOLD ~ because JESUS is the promised MESSIAH
F ROM King David ~ in His Genealogy ~ JESUS King of Kings & Lord of Lords !
T HE second Gift was FRANKINCENSE ~ A perfume used by PRIESTS
H E is DIVINE ~ The SON of GOD ~ The Second Person of the TRINITY
E VENTUALLY (AD 33) He died to REDEEM US ~ Third GIFT was MYRRH ~ SUFFERING !
M AGI are depicted on our CHRISTMAS CARDS & sung about in our CAROLS
A ND this gives them Reality & Substance in 2020 ! The BIBLE teaches they never
G OT to the Stable ~ but came to BETHLEHEM when JESUS was a Young Child
I N the House of Mary & Joseph. JESUS was about TWO years old ~ AMEN !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡
The STAR guided the MAGI to BETHLEHEM and stopped over the place where
the YOUNG CHILD was. They entered into the House and saw JESUS with MARY
His Mother. they bowed down & worshipped Him and opened their GIFTS and
presented to HIM GOLD - FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH ~ MATTHEW 2 vs 9 - 11

An event of such dynamic importance and seen worldwide by those who were wise - - thank you for the fine acrostic reminder dear duo.
GOOD MORNING FAY ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! Even though the VISIT took place oner 2000 years ago it is still very relevant today. The visit of the MAGI and the Spiritual significance of the gifts they brought is still as important as it was then ! Wise Men still seek for JESUS ~ AMEN !
Blessings & peace & Joy
Love ANGELA & BRIAN

A fine write B&A. Did they have any ponies? Oops, that was yesterday's poem - catch up Orchi! lol.
OOOPS We did it again ! Comment instead of reply ! Please check POEM for reply ~ Thanks A & B !
GOOD MORNING UNCLE STEVE ~ Thanks for your Q ! If you check the picture you will se the are all on CAMELS The reasons for this are:
1. There is a lot of sand to traverse and PONIES sink in sand
~ Camels dont !
2. Ponies need a lot of water ~ Camels carry theirs in their HUMP
3. You can carry a lot more on a Camel
4. Ponies dont like Sand in their Eyes
5. Its a lot more dignified for a MAGI to arrive in a Camel than a Pony
Blessings & Joy to You & Your Desert Doggie
Love in the SPIRIT Angela & Brian 🧡💙🧡
They were Magi, but I prefer 'wise men'. 'Magi' seems too close to 'magic'.
