Do I Really Need Another Christmas Present

This is a question to really shock you as folk get into a panic to buy gifts racking their brains what do they get? when the receiver really hasn't got a clue Now nearly reaching my three score and ten what do I really need at my time in life material gifts lose their so called desire paying over the odds among all the strife What price is it for what I really want? like sense of peace in my soul to know God loves me no matter what what contentment this brings as my goal Then consider having a real holy joy no more mumps and moans to express but finding a real depth down inside joyfulness, a cover for my heavenly dress No money can buy true inner calmness so much unfulfilled inner satisfaction but even if words for me just don't come peace like a river produces a chain reaction Peace joy and calm three blessed gifts so rare no money can buy them only God gives these to share

No Gordon, you are quite correct no gift can replace the gifts of Peace, Joy and calm. Yet the shops are hectic during Christmas week, including me sad to say, although I have strong faith and my gifts are small and useful. Beautiful write ( and you are right). Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

Thanks Jenny, Glad you agree with my thoughts and yes people go crazy at this time. Though over here in central Scotland we've been on level 4 lockdown for past few weeks but step back to level 3 on Friday so all the shops will open again. Hugs and blessings, Gordon
