IN THE BUSYNESS OF THIS SEASON...

It's the Friday before CHRISTmas, and all over town,

People are rushing to beat the count-down,

Last minute this, last minute that, with social obligations too,

Many absorbed in their lists of 'to do'...

In the busyness of this season,

Is lost the reason;

Put in the background is the meaning we celebrate,

As worldly ways tend to influence, and infiltrate...

The center shifts from CHRIST to Santa Claus,

Presents, tinsel, and goodies, distract, then cause

Us to revel in materialism, with excitement, and glee,

Ah, by all before us, we are enticed, so easily...

Interesting, and ironic, it is, that we are bound up in this Holiday,

In a most unaligned way!

Still, tradition has allowed us to believe that we are doing, is right,

In HIS HOLY sight...

There are lessons to be learned from this, and yet,

Lessons shall be forfeit,

In favour of the colourful, and alluring festivities,

Most of us are like wide-eyed Children at this time, you see...

Let us take the time to PRAY, and to thank THE LORD,

For HIS GIFT of LIFE, and HIS LIVING WORD;

Let us REJOICE IN HIS PERFECT LOVE,

Which manifest itself on Earth, from the HEAVENS ABOVE...

Let us sing PRAISE unto CHRIST our SAVIOUR, and KING,

Let us WORSHIP HIM OVER all, and everything,

Let us NEVER forget what HE HAS done,

For each, and every one!!!
