Christmas Decoration

Forgive me sweet, Jesus, for
Spending so much time decorating 
The Christmas tree and the streets 
Of my town

But 

Neglecting my soul to adorn with
The words of Thy message: To care,   
To love and to help those in need,
This Christmas!

Hi Demetrios! Such a sweet and beautiful poem! You've woven here a very loving and caring message of love hope and compassion for many souls out there who may have much less than what we may enjoy ourselves. Jesus must be shinning His radiant light a lot on you dear friend. So proud and glad to have you among my dearest and closest circle of friends. A solid 7 for you! And always keep the Lord in your heart. Have a very lovely weekend! :) Love and hugs! xxxxxx D.

Are we forgiven if we forget those in need? We mostly care about the festivities of Christmas and less about its essence. Thank you my friend, Anne -Lise.

Nicely done my dear friend. Gentle reminder that we all need to not get lost in the "Glitz" of Christmas but love our neighbor . . . I use love as an action verb not a feeling here.
