A Different Kind
Of Christmas
Modified from poem by Joanna Fuchs
Sometimes
Christmas is just overwhelming, it seems,
As
we rush around buying up stuff.
We
spend without end, and we rack up those bills,
But it feels like it’s
never enough.
So
this Christmas, let’s all take a different approach:
Let’s
try to be more in accord with God’s Christmas gift, the best one of all
Our
Sweet Jesus, our Savior, our Lord.
We’ll
be gentle and patient, and loving and kind,
And we’ll keep our priorities straight;
The
gifts of the spirit, the gifts of the heart,
Are the ones that we all
need celebrate.
As
we decrease the stuff our stress will decease,
For we’ll feel more at
peace as we package and trim,
Our true Christmas gifts of joy and
delight;
As we try to be much
more like Him.
