"Leave your foolish ways behind, and begin to live;
learn how to be wise." Proverbs 9:6 (NLT)

Day 111 Merry when Sharing?

Jingle bells, a very merry sound.
I feel tingles inside, outside, and upside down!
Excitement and joy right down to my toes,
unless it's the frostbite that's tickling my nose!

But how do we feel, when that same merry sound,
greets us with smiles, and calls for donation?
Guilt seeps in, at least for me,
and a feeling of selfishness,
I walk away--quick, flee!

But today I decided to go out of my way,
to pull over, get out, and run to his aid.
With one quick motion, slipped in a donation,
simple, easy, with little commotion.

Shared smiles and greetings, and as I was leaving
I heard his "God bless" and knew the rest.
This season? The reason--
Jesus in motion.

Lesson: give a little--you have SO much!
