The simple man who labors hard with
                         his hands.
But gives glory to You for all that
                          he has.
The tiny child ridiculed
                     at school.
For telling his friends all
                     about You.
The mother who cries for her child
                         at night.
Praying for guidance to bring him
                             up right.
The poor man who gives his very last
                           dollar.
To keep someone warm just a little
                              longer.
The teacher who knows she risks being
                                   fired.
To tell the true reason how Christmas was
                               inspired.
The ones who hear and obey your call.
These are the greatest of them all.

                       - Sheila

The best way to share "his" love sometimes is the quiet things that we do in our lives out of love for our fellow man without thought.  I was brought back to by a quiet gesture from a friend and I am beginning to find the peace that I used to know.
