It seems to me that sometimes we get too BUSY
especially at Christmastime with all the shopping
wrapping, sending cards, decorating and cooking
What would happen if we SIMPLIFIED the holiday
and pondered more about why we celebrate and what
a wondrous GIFT was given us with the holy birth
How could a simple event so many centuries ago
be CELEBRATED throughout the world even by those
who don't believe in the Son of God born to woman
Maybe it's time to take on less projects or activities
spend some time REFLECTING on the biblical story
and all it's ramifications to mankind and our world
I find myself more and more saying NO to taking on
extra tasks or assignments and finding more joy in
the FEW that I choose to involve myself with nowadays
