As We Celebrate
by
Barbara Philbrook
As we celebrate
Jesus' birth this year,
let's determine to share with the world God's loving
care.
How about giving
to those who have the greatest need?
Is there a hungry soul whom I can feed?
Is there someone
who is suffering from the cold?
Can't I wear last years coat it's not so old?
Is there someone
in need of the gifts under my tree?
Someone who needs them more than me?
Father teach me
the real meaning of Christmas this year.
I've been rather selfish in the past I fear.
I've worried if
the gifts I gave were sufficient,
hoping no one thought my love for them deficient.
Have I instilled
in each the true meaning of the day,
or have I been negligent in some way?
Help me to right
any wrong done by me.
Give me the way to open their eyes so they may see.
See the true
meaning of Christmas Day,
and how we can celebrate it in a proper way.
