Poem
I was beyond bereft!
With very little money, sure, we had a small place.
But no cash nor tree nor presents nor food were to 
be.
I cried a lot, so did my daughter.

I prayed very hard for some kind of answer.
Then I recalled "Operation Blessing"!
They wanted a complete list of what I needed.
It was long indeed, including a tree, a turkey, food 
for an empty pantry,and toys for my daughter.

They told me to trust God and stop my crying.
It was a relief for me to know I was trying.
There was no plethora of jobs, then, as there are now.
Nor were lowest income earners having an 8% increase 
hidden by the media mogul cows
And we were in a recession, then.


"Operation Blessing" came to our humble place.
I had been truly blessed by God's holy grace.
First they brought in a six foot,live, fully decorated tree!
In my daughter's eyes, I saw such happiness and glee! 

The turkey was a Tom, hence more than generous.
All the trimmings, too. Plus other foods to fill my barren 
kitchen cabinets.

Toys came next, plentiful,all beautifully wrapped.
My hopelessness disappeared knowing the world is so 
generous and way far from crass.
Many organizations are doing good this season,
After all there is a reason!

People are cooking for the homeless all day across this 
wonderful nation. Shelters are open. 
Groups are cleaning up tent cities!!
Oh, no! Forbidden for you to know.
The painting of rich crushing the poor,
Is the center of the political boors.

Do what we can in money or in person!
Christmas is about His love, His birth.
Share your time and care and love with those who may 
have less.
I learned that Christmas, to be humble and stop complaining!

To do for others, to tithe, to contribute.
To be grateful for what little I had.
And to ask when I needed help.
There are seniors living in nursing homes, go visit them,
their relatives won't!
How about badly wounded veterans, who lost limbs for you?
Can you spare them an hour or two?

Make this Christmas not about you.
It's a transformational experience,
I promise you!
