In The Spirit Of Christmas Just a simple sip of water If it’s offered in His Name Is recorded as an act of love In God’s Heavenly domain. Those random acts of kindness Performed without a reason… Giving with no thought of gain Celebrate the Christmas season I’ve read where a policeman Compassion leading him to choose To bless a barefoot homeless man With a brand new pair of shoes A visit to a nursing home… Time for those shut in by age Or illness is a golden deed Surely written on God’s page. What of the mentally impaired… The handicapped of mind? In their eyes a Merry Christmas And a smile’s considered kind. The jails contain a multitude Of people needing cheer. A simple Christmas song and prayer Could really work a wonder here. The widow and the orphan child Are not to be neglected. Remember some feel so alone… Despondent and dejected. The Salvation Army rings a bell… Red kettles are set out. Just a handful of your pocket change Could feed someone, no doubt. Be charitable this holy time… Be quick to bless someone. Think of the Father’s Christmas gift… He gave the world His Son! Doris Jacobs-Covington Christmas 2012 ~~Dedicated to Rich~~ ~~My inspiration for this came from watching one of Rich's amazing Christmas videos.~~ John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Matthew 25:34-40 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 10:42 And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded." Vote for this poem
