Don'T Be Fooled

"Don't Be Fooled"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

The latest toys, the latest games
And so many think that x can replace His Name
They say it's better to give than receive
But that's just a tool they used to deceive
So they sell, sell, sell, and we buy, buy, buy
We easily fall into the trap set by the author of the lie
And to make things worse, we teach the same to the youth
Then we expect them to grow up and be defenders of the Truth
And live by what would Jesus do when we should think of All He Has Done
Which is made a way to the Father for every daughter and every son
For each and everyone who desires to have Eternal Life
And that can not be accomplished without the Blood Of Jesus Christ
So please just remember that His Birth Is The Only Reason
Because without Christ, how can there be a Christmas Season

Splendid sentiment... I'm in full agreement with you... '...the latest toys, the latest games,' who needs 'em. Kids were much better off with mechanical gadgets and real books to read, not some stupid 'Kindle...' Well said Eric! Best wishes, Keith
