Once Upon A Child
The world was freed from sin,
In a lowly stable,
Born in Bethlehem

This Child was born of Mary
Conceived from Holy breath
His life was quite miraculous,
Even in his death.

He gave sight unto the blinded,
Fed hungry-clothed the poor,
Gave widsom to simple minded,
Taught us what our lives are for.

That's what God intended,
For us on Christmas Day
Give of ourselves and spread some joy,
To those in needing ways.

Think of what you have,
And of those that have much less,
Give from your heart this Christmas Day
You'll truly feel blessed.

Remember the true meaning,
Not the gifts all stacked in piles,
The reason there's a Christmas,
There was "Once Upon A Child".....

May all of you have a very Merry Christmas/Holiday or whatever you believe in...and, may your upcoming year be healthy and prosperous....luv...Scott/Buzz/Toe

Well bless your sweet Toe! For a moment, I must confess, I feared you might have had your signature toe twist at the end and were naming  The Child as Balladeer!

A lovely, heart-warming and joyous write from your beautiful soul.

Sending you blessings for a very merry Christmas and a joyful New Year!

Love & Christmas Light,

Linda

Toe,
You old poot! Seems you've gotten more than sentimental and a soft mind. Now you have a soft and spiritual heart. Oh, I'll bet it was always there and you're just letting down your guard in your old age. God is smiling, I'm sure.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Merry Christmas, Toe!  May you and
all of your family gather to love
one another and enjoy the day as it
is meant to be shared.

Well said, Toe.  Right on the mark, and failing to hide the real you as you do so successfully most of the time.  A man of character and humility cannot remain hidden all the tme.
