The Greatest Gift

FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A CHILD IS GIVEN;
 AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE ON HIS SHOULDER, AND
 HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR
 THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE
 OF PEASE.
                                ( ISAIAH 9:6 *NKJV )
       As we celebrate this day let us not lose sight of
  the first Christmas present ever given, that being God giving us
  His Son our Savior Jesus Christ to dwell with us!

      So let us not get lost in all the hustle and bustle of this time
  of year.  Instead, let us be mindful of all our blessings, and
  share the Christmas Spirit with others.  Remembering:

                       THE GREATEST Gift

              The greatest gift at Christmas time
               Is one we all may give -

               A friendly smile that helps to make
               Life easier to live.

               A kindly thought, a helping hand,
               To show someone we care

               And let them know how much it means
               For us to have them here.

               The greatest gift at Christmas time
               Costs not a lot to buy -

               It's being a good neighbor
               As days and months go by:

               It's offering a shoulder
               When someone needs a lift,

               And so I pray this Christmas Day
               That this may be your gift!

      May have a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful  New Year!
