ON THE NINTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Our true stress seems to be . . .
A thin line between love and hate.
Isn’t it funny
how opposites attract each other?
Lots of the things we hold near and dear
about Christmastime
adds burdens along with the bliss.
We love to see
a beautifully decorated tree,
but we hate doing the actual decorating.
We love entertaining family and friends,
but we hate cooking and cleaning
and making ready for their arrival.
We love eating a delicious Christmas Day dinner,
but we hate dealing with the weight gain.
Isn't there a way for us to be
in love with the gifts of the season,
And not have to deal with dislike and disdain?
Absolutely!
We can lavish our love on the Christ Child—
The One Who’s good and perfect—
The Epitome of joy and peace—
And guaranteed to be "nothing but Love."
Peace I leave with you . . .
