Jesus Gifts At Christmas Time

I have this beautiful poem hanging on my office wall.  It was an anonymous gift that means a great deal to me.  It describes Jesus-like gifts that we can give this season.
I know things are going to be crazy for me for the next week, so I'll be reading this more often.  If I don't get another post up before the anniversary of our Savior's birth, then God's blessings to you.  May you give and receive some of what is offered here.


This Christmas . . .

  Mend a quarrel,
  Seek out a forgotten friend,
  Write a love letter,
  Share some treasure,
  Give a soft answer,
  Encourage youth,
  Keep a promise,
  Find the time,
  Forgive an enemy,
  Listen,
  Apologize if you’re wrong,
  Think first of someone else,
  Be kind and gentle,
  Laugh a little,
  Laugh a little more,
  Express your gratitude,
  Gladden the heart of a child,
  Take pleasure in beauty and wonder,
   Speak your love,
       Speak it again,
          Speak it still once again.
