Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 This is very true Hug's Jan xox THE BEST GIFT If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show LOVE to my neighbors, I'm just another decorator! If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arraying a beautifully adorned table at mealtimes, 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 associates, 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 the true meaning of CHRISTMAS, 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 that 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 FOREVER! ~Anon, that prolific writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
