Christmas Holiday Thoughts

“Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
And on goes the story about Christmas Eve,
And the jolly old man whom we believe.

Have you even wondered how Santa came to be -
So important to Christmas – and to you and to me?
Well, it all began a long time ago
The night before Christ to earth was to go,

All prepared to make Christ’s birth well announced
With angels and music and anthems pronounced.
But alas, all had forgotten in the final rush
How to make Christ’s birthday remembered to us.

The kingdom was searched for the most excellent plan
That would help us remember God’s gift to man.
A saintly old fellow, so happy and bright
Came up with the best plan that was offered that day.

He said, “Send a fellow each year at this time,
Who would help people be happy and comfort their minds.
He could help man remember that God loves us so
By bringing presents to both friend and foe.

“He would show by example that true love and joy
Come only when shared with each girl and boy.”
Heaven decided that Santa’s plan would be just right
And Santa was asked to play the part that very first night.

So from the first Christmas right down to today,
When one heard the bells jingling and saw the big sleigh,
They knew it was Santa making his way
To remind the world of the love Jesus gave.

So, this night before Christmas when you hear Santa come,
Remember he’s doing it for the love of God’s Son.
Remember that he teaches as did Christ of old,
That to give of one’s self is more precious than gold.

QUIETNESS of MIND,

Teach us to be PATIENT

and always to be KIND,

Give us REASSURANCE

When everything goes wrong

So our FAITH remains unfaltering

And our HOPE and COURAGE strong–

And show us that in QUIETNESS

We can feel Your Presence near

Filling us with JOY and PEACE

Throughout the coming year.

A Patriotic Wish – For All American Heroes

I’d Like to be the sort of man the flag could boast about;

I’d like to be the sort of man it cannot live without;

I’d like to be the type of man that really is American;

The head erect, and shoulders square, clean-minded fellow, just and fair,

That all men picture when they see the glorious Banner of the FREE.

Listen With Your Heart
Memories are a treasure
Time cannot take away…
So may you be surrounded
By happy ones today…
May all the love and tenderness
Of special years well spent
Come back today to fill your heart
With beauty and content…
And may you walk down Memory Lane
And meet the one you love
For while you cannot see him
He’ll be watching from above…
And if you trust your dreaming
Your faith will make it true…
And if you listen with your heart
He’ll come and be with you…
So for his sake be happy
And show him that his love
Has proven strong and big enough
To reach down from above…
And you will never walk alone
When Memory’s Door swings wide…
For you’ll find that you’re dear One.
Is always by your side.

I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly!
