Christmas lives!
(always &
forever)
’Tis that day
after Christmas, a most wonderful time.
Indeed! The babe
“innocent” is born for redemption;
gifts are unwrapped
and admired, treasured-secret away;
church bells
toll holy believers to worship their true King;
on yon horizon
beckons “Hope!” in a coming New Year!
Resolutions to
contemplate? Naw! Just more of the same!
Reflections to
satiate? My soul---Light! Me
spirit---Soars!
Has been a fine
year, decades, awesome-adventurous life!
Dare! Choose to
make it all happen just once, yet, again!
In a time-gift
of space allotted to me? “Thank Thee!”
Allow humble I
return gratitude: Praise! Honor! Glory!
Only worthy gift
we have is “Good!” to one another
Our very best to
bestow is “Love!” toward each other
I once quipped
aloud, “I know more good people than bad.”
A skeptic quick-anger
declared, “You don’t know everybody!”
Truth is contained in
each of the considered-concluded fiats;
Perhaps I spoke
out of turn? Confused? Stupid? Wrong? Maybe?
Christmas Eve
morning found “Santa” in a grocery check-out line
with last minute
items for his sack as he began the delightful task
of delivering “goodies”
to good little girls and boys. Smiling brightly
as “today” was,
after all, “his” day, so to speak (He’s been waiting
for this a full
year), though, in honesty, he keeps well-practiced, daily.
Busy spreading “Christmas
cheer” with the beleaguered clerk who
was busily
lamenting her work schedule on this auspicious holiday,
ole Santa caught
a glimpse of the customer next in line, behind him.
A late-forty-ish
man still half-asleep from an obvious long night of
holiday celebration,
stared right through old Santa, not seeing the man.
Santa took
notice of the gentleman’s purchase item causing the red-suited
man’s smile to
broaden, even more. On the counter, the man had laid a
big box full of
breakfast donuts to take home to a family he dearly loved.
“Ah!” Thought
ole Santa. Another “Good” person celebrating---Christmas!
It’s simply
never---too late…or, too soon. to begin! Amen!
Merry Christmas!
from: Ole Santa!
(Any ole place! All the time!)
