merry, merry

he who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.  ~roy l. smith
it's that time of year again...
a time to be merry and to give bright.  

all i simply ask of myself is that
i not forget why i am celebrating...
that i not forget the reason for the season. 

as i find myself out and about
shopping for joy, 
i pray i don't forget to give in the now
the real gift of the season...
the gift of love.

by washing the disciples feet, jesus taught us how to serve one another.  it was also an example that it is "more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35. 

demonstrate christ-like love and service and give an unexpected gift of service to a member of your family, a neighbor, co-worker...friend.  it can be as simple as running an errand or making a lunch.  

if you take some time and make it personal and meaningful...
just watch the blessings multiply.

Hi there,
Your site was bought to mynotice by a special young fiend of mine....what a joy to open the site and see that you are not too proud to post comments of how we are truly blessed by so many things and people around us. The Joy of the Lord is evident in your life! May you be doubly blessed and all those that come into contact with you!

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
