The Reason for The Season...........
Submitted by Omar Richards on Sun, 09/12/2007 - 2:06pm.

Omar C. Richards

The holiday season always starts, a rush of people with weary hearts,

A time ordered for season's greetings, rushing all to family meetings.

While rushing to malls filled with holly, covered with commercial jolly,

Peoples searching far and near, to find some temporal holiday cheer.

They find festive noise is all around, as lights and ornaments abound,

And at the root, what is the cause; a jolly old man named Santa Claus.

Hiding Truth from girls and boys, using nothing but those simple toys,

Filling their hearts with temporal joys, in the midst of the festive noise.

The Christmas Truth people seldom lift, even though it was God's gift,

The one gift from The Lord above; a special gift of The Father's Love.

And unlike other gifts of the past, this one gift from God will truly last,

When all the other gifts cease to be, this one gift shall last for eternity.

That special Gift was God's Only Son, that one gift sent for everyone,

God's Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, sent to give all men New Life.

And this Gift was not under a tree, but nailed upon a cross on Calvary,

Where Christ himself paid the price, as He became for men a sacrifice.

God's Gift will give you peace on earth, through His Gift of New Birth,

And Christ will forgive all your sin, if you would simply believe in Him,

To fill your heart with Heaven's hush, even in this festive holiday rush,

So this season you'll be gleaning, its true reason with God's meaning.

The True Meaning of Christmas!!!
Submitted by Omar Richards on Sat, 08/12/2007 - 10:37pm.

Omar C. Richards

IF I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another decorator.

If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another cook.

If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing home, and give all that I have to charity, but do not show love to my family, it profits me nothing.

If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and crocheted snowflakes, attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the choir’s cantata, but do not focus on Christ, I have missed the point.

Love stops the cooking to hug the child.
Love sets aside decorating to kiss the husband.
Love is kind, though harried and tired.
Love doesn’t envy another’s home that has coordinated Christmas china and table linens.
Love doesn’t yell at the kids to get out of the way, but is thankful they are there to be in the way.
Love doesn’t give only to those who are able to give in return but rejoices in giving to those who can’t.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
Video games will break, pearl necklaces will be lost, golf clubs will rust.
But giving the gift of love will endure.
Merry Christmas!
