Keeping Christ In Christmas
Keep Christ in Christmas is more than a chant
It is also more than an angry judgmental rant
It is not a slogan to be spoken and tossed about
There is more to it than wanting to jump and shout
Do you want to keep Christ in Christmas this year
There is something more we can do than this cheer
Follow the example of Jesus Christ's teaching
By your actions of love instead of "preaching"
There are so many hungry people for you to feed
The poor lonely orphans also have a great need
The cold and naked are in need to be clothed today
Giving a drink to those who thirst is another way
So forget about these catch phrases and such
Be the one who heals hearts with a gentle touch
Out of a joyful heart let us all start the giving
Let us keep Christ in Christmas through our living
Brothers and Sisters,
Keeping with the spirit of Christian response to worldly attacks and social media "viral" postings. I was led to write this for a gentle course correction for myself and any who need it. Our war is not in the world, but in the Spiritual realm. So the color of a cup or a marketing slogan are not the enemy we are called to battle. I see all these "controversial" topics and the way Christians respond and I am starting to see the pitfall that too many of us are falling into.
These worldly attacks are being used to elicit a planned response from Christians. They are designed to make us angry and respond in a worldly manner instead of how we should respond, as Christ would respond.
If you are led by the Spirit to respond then respond in love and meekness. Respond how the Spirit leads you.
Once again this is a lesson for me to grow and for me to share. God bless.

This poem is right on target. Too many of us fall into the trap too often and then allow it to keep us guilt bound. Thank you for your obedience in sharing it and blessing us. May it be promoted to help others avoid the temptation set to trap us.
