During this holiday season I ask not heaven for transient treasures that money can buy
Purchased gifts of credit card folly bought with essential bill money
Making commercialized Christmas smiles while Christ smile is one of tears
Because of the now lost meaningful message of the birth of the Christ child
During this holiday season I pray not for peace on Earth among men of goodwill
Prayers from mouths with false teeth held in place with Polident denture cream
Mouths that honors GOD primarily for material things
During this holiday season I ask heaven not for the basic life necessities
Why?
Everyday I’m allowed to see the sun shine or to feel the rain
Reach out to family and friends
Share a kind word or hear wisdom speak through a multitude of voices
Smile at a stranger who smiles back
Back me up to remember that this particular holiday season unlike all others
Is the reason I ask not GOD during this holiday season for anything…else
It is a time of reflection as I peer at my reflection in the mirror of life
So as not to forget that the reason for season is to be pursued all year long

Grateful
On this national day of thanks, I am truly grateful for the love of my sons, the friendship of their mother, the love of my oldest nieces who honor me with their words, my special friend and her family who has accepted me as one of their own, the love and mercy GOD has shown which has made the aforementioned possible. As this day progresses please pause to remember that the choice to make a difference for the good in someone else's life is ours and ours alone.
