Christmas Gift
A fun Christmas poetry composed by Maureen


The gifts I’d leave beneath your tree,
Aren’t those that you can touch or see,
Not wrapped in Christmas tissue gay
But gifts to bless you every day

The Gift of FRIENDSHIP warm and true,
Is one that I would leave for you
Good health and happiness and cheer
To keep you smiling through the year

The Gift of PEACE that comes from God,
With prayer to guide each path you trod
And when your heart has lost its song.

The Gift of HOPE to cheer you on
These are the gifts I’d leave for you



Here is an early present
for you my dearest friend,
it's your if you can catch it,
don't despair - just try again.

It's full of something wonderful,
I wonder what it is,
try harder now if you would see
this present full of mystery!

Perhaps I'll tell, perhaps I won't
but it's something I've been making,
it's wrapped with love from me to you,
but that is all I'm saying!



Thanks For Visiting

Small Pine



"Small Pine"
Author Unknown

Long, long ago, in a land far away lived a perfect little tree, named Small Pine. Small Pine hoped to maintain its perfect form, and be selected by the queen as her Christmas tree. Yet as the warm-hearted little tree gave shelter to birds, rabbits and deer in the forest, its branches became damaged!
Fortunately the queen had a different idea of perfection. The queen, her family and all of the villagers said that Small Pine was the finest Christmas tree yet, for in looking at its drooping nibbled branches, they saw the protecting arm of their father, or the comforting lap of a mother. Some like the wise queen saw the love of Christ expressed on Earth.

So, as you walk among evergreens today, you'll find along with rabbits, birds and other happy living things, many trees like Small Pine. You'll see a drooping limb which gives cover, a gap offering a warm resting place, and branches ragged from feeding hungry animals. For, as have many of us, the trees have learned that living for the sake of others makes us most beautiful in the eyes of The Lord.
