The naughty and niceness of Winter days A blizzard of hate or blanket of snow? Celebrations of violence or praise? Will unity of man wither or grow?* The naughty and niceness of Winter days… Drunkenness and malice toward God and man, Blasphemy on every carolers tongue, Attempted destruction of heaven’s plan… The naughty and niceness of Winter days. Alms for the poor - blankets and coats accord. Open hands for strangers, widows, orphans. Cornucopia: meat and milk - God’s word. The naughty and niceness of Winter days. A blizzard of hate or blanket of snow? Celebrations of violence or praise? Will unity of man wither or grow? The naughty and niceness of Winter days. The purchase of souls for evil or right? The glory of God or the deepest night? Saints of the Holy Spirit obey. The naughty and niceness of Winter days. Does a cross on your back sound inviting? A night of cold, labor, and loud mooing? In the end it’s Christ who does the consoling. The Father, looks on, far above the stars, Sees the naughty and niceness of one’s days. Those willing to forego a fortnight’s pleasure. One’s years spent serving Him in the desert. The naughty and niceness of Winter days A blizzard of hate or blanket of snow? Celebrations of violence or praise? Will unity of man wither or grow? 11/30/2021 man - all people, the human race

Hello Kim ... it takes all kinds to hold a community together with the naughty at one end of the scale and the nice at the other end. In the middle, there are the waverers, and all these make life interesting, like your poem Kim - Lindsay

You generate deep thoughts in the mind by hurling some weighty questions....! Is this season a time for violence or praise, will unity of man wither or grow ... these are questions we can't answer ! Profound !

There is none worthy or deserving of His forgiveness but because He loves us the way a Father loves His Children we are assured of His Salvation. Good Stuff my friend. God Bless and Merry Christmas. JB

Yes! We are either part of the love or the hate. We must choose each day. ~ hugs

Wow. You certainly have given us readers a banquet of food for thought, Kim. Some hard looking in the mirror required as well, methinks. Kudos, Gershon

Excellent poetry! Of course, Days, nights, holidays, it is all about an ever-present spirit inside of each of us, operating outside time and space -- we are constantly naughty and nice...not seasonal. In every awake moment and in our dreams, God knows our souls, and responds appropriately -- now...and then!
