Christmas
A nine letter word
That is very commercialise
A word which has the ability
To raise billions in a second.
Nine letters one word
To con, to manipulate
One seconded before you debate.
It is said that Christmas is Christ birth
The day our Saviour
Choose to come to this earth.
A King whose blood
Was shed for all men
A gift beyond all gifts
To restore, to build.
Yet in our ignorance,stubbornness and selfish ways
We repaid by doubt,fear,greed,lust,hatred and death.
Don't misunderstand, christmas should be a time of celebrating.
A time of great reflecting
It should not be about spending
Christmas should be about forgiving
Mending bridges that are broken
Reflecting on peace and giving.
Christmas the time of year
That gives you the chance
To say, I am sorry
For the things
I have said and done through out the year.
Christmas is where you begin to let go of hurt
Embrace the unknown all things good and new
Trusting and knowing the most high is with you.
Christmas is not about you or me
Its about the Saviour love for me and you
Christ birth is definitely worth celebrating.
Take this moment to reflect
Pause for a while
Treasure, love those around you.
Learn to appreciate
Say thank you,
Live every minute,every second as though its your last.
Christmas is not about spending
Christmas is about family
Christmas is all about giving.
