~ A Christmas Message ~ It’s Christmas, that unique time of year again When we re ignite that special spirit’s flame The one where we are more tolerant than before When we ignore the crowds and wish for more When we band together in a whirl of gaiety And we tire ourselves out with preparing to party But remember as you enjoy your Christmas cheer That there are many that don’t celebrate this year Spare a thought as you go on your merry way About the ones who won’t see this Christmas day Send a prayer of thanks that you’ve come through That you’ve met the challenge that you are you Spare a thought for those whose hearts still cry For those who are desperate and wish they’d die Give them a gift send them a prayer, a little love Ask HIM to send them an angel from up above Give out the most precious gift, a gift of hope Offer them a hand ask them if they can cope HE gave us his son, let’s recall that and smile And treasure our friend’s hand once in a while Give love it’s a present that will last eternally Or at least until time and space cease to be HE gives us choice, choose to offer love to all Choose to assist if one of his children do fall Carry the message of Christmas in your heart Keep it all through the year don’t let it depart Spread love, not hate, and offer hope not tears We should walk in HIS light not shake with fears Don’t let the Christmas spirit fade away and die Live your life with joy we weren’t meant to cry Reach out to everyone touch those around you Let’s keep the Christmas spirit the whole year through Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Yes, we need to always remember the ones who have not made it this far. I have a request, I saw a young man on Oprah today, who is very ill and when asked what he wanted for Christmas, he said if its not too much trouble, would you pray for me? So please pray for Mattie, this sweet boy. Thanks for your positive and strong messages of love. Sandra |

Thank you all so much for reading this and replying, I know that the Christmas message will ring eternally in your beautiful hearts. Each one of you are special and here in this magical place you are a special gift. Your words lift spirits and make hearts dance, you summon up smiles and you summon tears. Keth this means you, and we all lknow why you do it. It's a deliberate ploy so you can present me to the world with red rimmed eyes and a blotchy face. And also you dear 'Deer, what have a done to you so that I am left teary eyed? Hmmmmm. I'll forgive you but only because you are a superb writer. Keth on the other hand must pay a penance, I'll think of something suitable you see if I don't, darling girl. You'll be sorry.  to all of you   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy    To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |
