This season be an ambassador for Christ with your giving to many in need. Support the efforts of the Salvation Army and other charities.

You celestial beings

Come to our help

During this glorious season

- – -

Have mercy on us

The poor

And the disenfranchised

- – -

People blow your horns

Beat your drums

For Christmas is upon us

- – -

Remember to give

Gifts to the least among us

Think about the Salvation Army

Their workers will be out

With their kettles

Ringing bells

For you to make donations

- – -

This collection helps buy

Christmas meals

And presents

For needy families

- – -

Remember to give freely

For “the more you give

More you’ll receive”

- – -

Your blessings

May not be treasure

But mercy, healing

And goodwill

- – -

One day

I discovered my wife

She is giving

Not only to the Salvation Army

But several charities

    I tried to give service as a volunteer for the Salvation Army in my city to help with serving Thanksgiving dinner and it was like trying to get in to the UN to take pictures for a personal scrapbook smh. Unreal. It was a bust. I was sad about it. Yes, blessings have probably been around you for how you simply think in for “goodness” sake why you were one of the lucky persons to FIND a wife :) Thanks for the cheer share

    Christmas is a time for sharing and giving especially to the poor and less fortunate and you have portrayed this very nicely in your poem.

  • iva75cpb on Dec 5, 2011

    Christmas shouldn’t be the only time of the year we become better people.

  • papaleng on Dec 5, 2011

    Thanks Sir for the reminder. I give without my other hand knowing it.

  • Christine Ramsay on Dec 5, 2011

    It is so much better to give, at any time of the year, than to receive. A lovely poem reminding us of this.

  • A Bromley on Dec 5, 2011

    We all need to remember to give, a share of our blessings; for in giving we shall also receive. Good write, good message. Thanks for the reminder.

  • LadyElena on Dec 5, 2011

    Lovely – I like what you wrote about giving gifts to the least…. I always make a habit of buying Xmas gifts for the cleaners at work and it surprises them. I stay and chat with them once in a while but when I give Xmas and Easter Gifts……the looks on their faces? Priceless….

    Thanks. Be Blessed.

  • PR Mace on Dec 5, 2011
