THE lights are up in the High Street,stars
and Santa's galore, bedazzling us with
tinsel and flashing coloured lights, but
do we know what it is all really for?
The toys that crowd the shop windows,
games and technical marvels, that the
children really crave, we mnust have this
we must have that, but do they know
the one who only lived to save?
Each tinsel star should remind us of the
first that shone to show the child that
taught us how to live, without hate, but
love, kindness and how we must forgive.
Christmas has a meaning if we can pause
awhile amidst the fun and the rushing
here and there, to think of all the suffering
there is in the world today, to stop and
let the Angels hear a prayer.
