"The True Present" This time of year called Yuletide Makes us go shopping crazy. Commercialism gives us all a ride. Buying, spending, shopping, wrapping... That's what keeps us all dizzy. My Christmas present to you, My friends, is a reminder: Yuletide is here for a reason. Someone came to this earth for you. His name is Jesus, the reason for the season. He came from His heavenly home To be born and put in a manger. Why did He leave heaven and come? So that you and I can call it home! During this time of Yuletide, Take time to remember that The true gift of Christmas is love. Love from above is the true present, Not the presents under a tree. Give the gifts to your family and friends, But also give them the gift of love. Megan Delia Ratcliff 16 December 1997 |
