Thursday Christmas Thoughts



 Surely 'don't touch' couldn't possibly be for all those beautiful, colored , shiny balls!

If I could have one wish, my friend
I think that it would be
To wonder like a child again
In joy’s simplicity

***

Only God can give it
Coveted release
If we trust in His goodness
Then He will give us peace

***

None of us are so poor
That we cannot give
Thanks

***

None of us are so rich
That we dare not
Give thanks

***

Though we are not able to help everyone
We are all able to help
Someone

***

The weight of duty and expectation
Should never out-weigh
Hope’s celebration

***

Jesus, You owed us nothing
And yet You gave Your all
Jesus, we owe You everything
Why are our gifts so small?

***

Words;
Their cruelty
And their kindness
Are limitless
Let’s keep them beautiful,
Not only at Christmas
But let those sentiments
Written in cards
Become testaments
Of who we are

***

Nobody is a nobody
And that is why God came
So sing a song Of Christmas joy
He loves us all the same
And could not bear that any
Should perish without Him
So sing a song of Christmas joy
To Christ of Bethlehem
