CHOOSE TO SHARE THE LIGHT THIS CHRISTMAS

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS DAY is here=

Another coming of CHRIST!=The LIGHT

Of the world-

SHINES IN the darkness

Even in the miserable year of 2020

“Upon those who dwelt

In the land of gloom

A LIGHT has shone” Isaiah 9:1

Who among us hasn't felt

A little GLOOM

Over at least one Christmas

There are all kinds of things

To bring us down=

Family conflicts=personal illness=

Loneliness due to the

ABSENCE of loved ones=

And annoying disruptions

Of our plans

And 2020 has been

A year UNLIKE any other=

With all kinds of DISRUPTIONS

To our life

But the light of love

The LIGHT OF THE WORLD=

Is still here

Choose to share the

LIGHT OF Christ

This Christmas day=

Choose to share

The light of love

THIS CHRISTMAS DAY!

When gloom comes at us-

Let us realize that

We carry=

The ETERNAL LIGHT within us

Let us SHARE

THE LIGHT OF GOD'S LOVE!

“Nevertheless the one

Who receives instruction

In the word

Should SHARE-all good things

With their instructor” Galatians 6:6

“Anyone who has been stealing

Must steal no longer

But must work

Doing something-

Useful with their own hands

That they may have something

TO SHARE

With those in need” Ephesians 4:28

So IF your world

Is gray today=

Keep the STRONG FAITH

And let the LIGHT

Of the world=shine through you

BE FILLED with gratitude

The Holy One

Loves us so much

That the beloved SON

Was birthed

To share that love

Today we can SHARE THE LIGHT

With the gift

Of our loving presence

With generous kindness-

A helping hand

And with a ready smile-

A listening ear

And a loving heart

“For you have

Delivered me from death

And my feet from stumbling

That I may walk

Before God

In the LIGHT OF LIFE” Psalm 56:13

No matter what

Your day is bringing

THIS CHRISTMAS DAY=even if it

Has some gloom

Please SHARETHE LIGHT

Of God=and the

Light of love and life=today

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIENDS=

Thinking of you=and PRAYING

For you and your family

With ALL of my heart=

I LOVE YOU ALL!

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our everlasting LIGHT=THE HOLY FATHER!
