Christ-like Gifts This Christmas


I have the following on my office wall.  As you start preparing for our class, you're also running around getting things nailed down for Christmas.  I want to share a favorite poem/piece that can aid in a sermon, become the focus of prayer, or for you to use as a greeting from your church.  I hope you find it as useful as I have.  Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you this spring.


This Christmas . . .

  Mend a quarrel,
  Seek out a forgotten friend,
  Write a love letter,
  Share some treasure,
  Give a soft answer,
  Encourage youth,
  Keep a promise,
  Find the time,
  Forgive an enemy,
  Listen,
  Apologize if you’re wrong,
  Think first of someone else,
  Be kind and gentle,
  Laugh a little,
  Laugh a little more,
  Express your gratitude,
  Gladden the heart of a child,
  Take pleasure in beauty and wonder,
   Speak your love,
       Speak it again,
          Speak it still once again.

Tim
