THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

THE REASON FOR THE SEASON Have you seen The bumper sticker Or heard the saying JESUS is the reason For the season HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET As I Write my Christmas cards To family and friends I try to remember THE REASON FOR THE SEASON Before I left Pittsburgh You couldn’t say The word “CHRISTMAS” on tv “Happy Sparkle Season” Hardly has the same effect---at least for me HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET A miniature crèche Identical to the one in Rome Had to be moved From the government courthouse To outside a corporation HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET Haven’t you heard JESUS is the reason For the season WITHOUT JESUS You would be getting Not one single gift this year Putting up my decorations And my Christmas tree Trying to remember---trying NOT to forget Jesus is the reason For this kindness and goodwill He is THE REASON For this season Trying to remember The LOVE, the FORGIVENESS, and KINDNESS That he brought to us---in this world Trying to remember---his name---the name of JESUS CHRIST Trying to let him know That it ALL Wasn’t for not That it ALL---wasn’t in vain Let us put the letter “C” Back into Christmas Let us put the name Christ Back into Christmas It is NOT so hard to remember It really isn’t---all we have to do Is take one long look up at the CROSS JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE---I LOVE YOU Robert P.
