Shocked by the news;
his bride is
pregnant.
Convinced by what he sees;
she has been
defiled.
Determined to be kind,
he will divorce her
quietly.
Visited in a dream,
by an angel with
good news.
The child in her womb
will be named
Jesus.
He will save
his people from
their sins.
Rising from sleep,
Joseph’s mind is
changed.
No matter what
he will raise the
child.
Matthew 1:18-25

interesting
Thanks–I think.
LOL
Larry The Deuce shared his perspective on Joseph today. You should check it out: http://deuceology.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/giving-up-your-rights-for-the-right-thing/
I’m sure I will. Thanks, man.
I’m glad that Joseph could remember his dreams. I have a hard time with that. I kid, I kid. Great stuff today Matt.
Me, too. Must have been a God-thing 🙂
Not too bad, for a Baptist preacher…
You’re in the game, not in the bleachers…
Why not make a poetry habit?
Create more and more, like healthy rabbits!
Thank you,man. Sounds like a great plan!
L0ve it!
Thanks, man!
Well done sir. Joseph was a gentleman. Then again, he would have gotten struck by lightning if he would have done otherwise. 🙂
very nice Matt! (I ate the comma again)
A little lightning makes for good motivation.
Great job! Love it 🙂
Thank you!
I think we tend to overlook Joseph’s side of the story and what God did in him. I wrote about it last year after God took me through a journey and pointed out that Joseph displayed incredible faith as well.
Great poem man!
Thank you–and so true.
