P's & Q's of Christmas
(Seasonal Reminders)
May you be mindful of why we celebrate mankind's special event
Enjoy your family and friends, truly take-in each smile, laugh, hug
Reach out to those that are shut-ins and forgotten...heal their hurt a bit
Remember a gift means more than monetary gain; it's the sentiment
Yule tide is another word to say Merry Christmas! I never knew!!
**********************************************************************
Christ was a tiny miracle but He is also the mightiest King of kings
Have your noses get tickled with peppermint, pine, and lot of ginger
Reach into your heart, choose kindness and forgiveness, gift to yourself
In a world of war and chaos, may your home this season, be a safe harbor
Santa needs cookies, but Jesus needs to be honored with praise and songs
Tummies should be filled with festive favorites, even go for seconds
May you have peace and joy in your hearts and minds this holiday
Always be grateful when you look into the faces of your loved ones
Some may be missing from the table this year. Raise a glass to them!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
