Is Christmas costing you too much?
Think what it cost Jesus.
Philippians 2:7-8 (MEV)
But He emptied Himself,
taking upon Himself the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of men.
And being found in the form of a man,
He humbled Himself
and became obedient to death,
even death on a cross.
Jesus paid it all! All I have I owe to Him.
Christmas doesn’t cost me much
’cause all I give is Love,
and that sits OK with friends and such
and I hope with God above.
I really do not have the scratch
to hand out shiny baubles,
nor desire to overmatch
folks with lots more rubles.
I dropped the gifting on its head
when it became a competition,
and offer heartfelt prayers instead,
far beyond the Yuletide season.
True, some people think me preachy,
but to me that’s all fine and peachy.
Always wanted to find a place to say, ‘peachy’.
Peachy keen insight, Andrew. Thank you for sharing it so poetically.
I’m so glad you liked it!
