Put Christ back into Christmas

As I was preparing my sharing time for tomorrow, I ran across this poem at Sugardoodle.net

Put Christ back into Christmas

'Twas many, many a year ago when Christ first came to earth

And each year December rolls around when we celebrate His birth.
He came to earth, then died for us, to save us from our sins;
So let us, as we celebrate, allow His Spirit in.
For as we become so busy with our special preparations,
We tend to lose the sight of the real reason for celebrations.

Let's hold on to the miracle of our loving Savior's birth
And bring back to our memory the reason He came to earth.
So instead of being commercialized, with gifts to outdo all,
Let's give the gift of "ourselves", whether it be big or small.
Let us not so dwell upon the gifts that money can buy
But let us give a "heart gift", and His Spirit will stand us by.


As we go about our preparations in the next few weeks ahead
Let us hold deep within our hearts the greatest miracle instead
Of whose gift is the greatest, the best that money can buy;
Let us count our blessings and then let each one try
To bless those lives around us, and bring the Spirit in
Put "Christ" back into Christmas : Let The Miracle Begin.
