If you've been here long you'll know I have been trying to purposely focus on the real meaning of Christmas this year, instead of being so consumed with presents and decorations and preparations that it does become a bit like 'Xmas' ~ Christ is missing!
I have a real sense that this world is moving away from God at an alarming rate, and it makes me want to hold on to what is true all the more. I wrote this poem to help us remember what it's all about.
Christmas Is...
Christmas is a day each year that most on earth uphold
As a holiday and celebration, but the truth is seldom told
It's feeeding the hungry and helping the widows all throughout the year
More than pretty wrapping and present tags signed 'with love'
It's remembering Jesus birth - the Gift to us from God above
More than exciting children with a new bike or toy
It's teaching them the reason for our overwhelming joy
More than how you fill the stockings, but how you fill your mind
More than giving token gifts, but helping others out of a bind
More than expanding stomachs with a scrumptious Christmas feast
Its thanking God for providing us with everlasting peace
More than spending hours making sure the Day is nice
It's spending even a few minutes each day remembering your Christ
