Christmas

Christmas

One dear family in need brought Christmas to us

more than all the presents under our tree.

As a parent, we want to give and give to our children

but what are we giving our kids this Christmas?

Will our kids remember seeing the little girls wide eyes as she danced around holding her new clothes?

Will our kids remember hearing the sickly mother with Cancer who could only say Muchas Gracias?

Will our kids remember the shy but thankful father?

or will they be too focused on the toys under our own tree?

Is it just another day to help a family in need and pass it by without pondering on it?

Hand-me-downs, used toys, new clothes is that really enough?

Dear Family, will you read the Bibles that we set before you?

Oh, how we wish that we could take away your life's grim reality and give you HOPE.

Hope for a new day, cancer free

Hope for a new way, to provide for your family

Hope in Jesus, the only Hope that lives forever.

So, Dear Family (in need) , in You we saw Christmas

But in us, did you see JESUS?
