The Humble Christmas Tree 2006-12-24 20:03:00 When I was five years old we lived in the small town of Rock Springs, Wyoming. My dad worked swing shifts in the coal mine. He loved the work, but it was very hard on our family financially and with respect to my dad being home for us. That Christmas we had no money to spare. My sister and I would have never known the amount of financial stress my parents were experiencing, but years later looking through a photo album we saw our little Christmas tree and inquired of my mother why we had "that" tree. She told my sister and I that real trees were too expensive, so she got a package of green construction paper and a bunch of candy canes. With some glue, tape, and the ornaments we already had we built the biggest and best Christmas tree I think I have ever seen. Of all the Christmas trees we have had since, none have meant quite so much. I remember the details of that Christmas and the fact that we made that humble little paper tree with my two faithful parents. Now, when I look at the pi ...

Christmas - A time to care 2006-12-24 18:45:00 The mall was crowded, Christmas shoppers rushing from store to store.Nobody paid attention, as she crouched there on the floorShe didn't look in trouble, and she didn't seem afraid.Apparently she stopped to rest, she did not need my aidA little girl of 8 or 9, and cute as she could be.I wondered should I stop and ask if she needed help from me?I wondered if her mother had just left her there alone.I thought as i walked by her, in my haste to get back homeAs I left the mall, I couldn't get her off my mindDid that little girl need help? Was I just acting blind?It bothered me so much,I had to go back to the mall.I have to get this settled in my mind once-for-all. The mall was closed, I heard some chain doors coming down.But as I looked, the little girl was nowhere to be found.Is it my imagination, that again is running wild?Thinking I had lost my chance, to help this poor lost child.I guess she must be fine, or she would be sitting here.I get way too emotional at this time each year.I ...

AN EXCHANGE OF GIFTS 2006-12-24 09:43:00 I grew up believing that Christmas was a time when strange and wonderful things happened; when wise and royal visitors came riding, when at midnight in the barnyard animals talked to one another, and in the light of a fabulous star, God came down to us as a baby. Christmas to me has always been a time of enchantment, and never more so than the year when my son Marty was eight. That was the year that my children and I moved into a cozy trailer home in a forested area just outside of Redmond, Washington.As the holidays approached, our spirits were light, unhampered even by the winter rains that swept down Puget Sound, dousing our home and making our floors muddy. Throughout that December, Marty had been the most spirited, and busiest of us all. He was my youngest; a cheerful boy, blond-haired and playful, with a quaint habit of looking up at you and cocking his head like a puppy when you talked to him. Actually, the reason for this was that Marty was deaf in his left ear, but it was a co ...

THE CRIPPLED LAMB 2006-12-22 19:14:00 Once upon a time in a sunny valley, there lived a little lamb, Joshua. He was white with black spots, black feet, and ... sad eyes.Josh felt sad when he saw the other lambs with snow-white wool and no spots. He felt sad when he saw the other sheep with their mums and dads because he didn't have a Mom or a dad.But he felt saddest when he saw the other lambs running and jumping, because he couldn't. Josh had been born with one leg that didn't work right. He was crippled. He always limped when he walked. That's why he always watched while the other lambs ran and played. Josh felt sad and alone, except when Abigail was around. Abigail was Josh's best friend. She didn't look like a friend for a lamb. She was an old cow - she was brown with white blotches that looked like rain puddles on a path. Her belly was as round as a barrel, and her voice was always kind and friendly. Some of Josh's favourite hours were spent with Abigail. They loved to pretend they were on adventures in distant ...

God is still speaking 2006-12-22 18:02:00 The man whispered, "God, speak to me" And a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled "God, speak to me" And the thunder & lightning rolled across the sky. But the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you." And a star shined brightly. But the man did not see. And, the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle" And a life was born. But the man did not notice. So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me, God, and let me know you are here" Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect. Author Unknown Play How Great Thou ArtTotal Forgivenessby R. T.
