God's Living Truth


A Point to Ponder...





Christmas 1st Corinthians 13 Style

 




If I decorate my house perfectly
with plaid bows, strands of
 twinkling lights and shiny balls,
but do not show love to my family,
I'm just another decorator.

If I slave away in the kitchen,
baking dozens of Christmas cookies,
 preparing gourmet meals and
arranging a beautifully adorned
table at mealtime, but do not
show love to my family,
I'm just another cook.
 
If I work at the soup kitchen,
carol in the nursing home and
give all that I have to charity,
 but do not show love to my family,
it profits me nothing.

If I trim the spruce with shimmering
angels and crocheted snowflakes,
attend a myriad of holiday parties
and sing in the choir's cantata
but do not focus on Christ,
I have missed the point.

Love stops the cooking
to hug the child.

Love sets aside the decorating
to kiss the husband.

Love is kind, though
harried and tired.

Love doesn't envy another's home
that has coordinated Christmas
china and table linens.

Love doesn't yell at the kids
to get out of the way.

Love doesn't give only to those who
are able to give in return but rejoices
 in giving to those who can't.

Love bears all things,
believes all things,
 hopes all things,
 endures all things.

Love never fails.
Video games will break,
pearl necklaces will be lost,
golf clubs will rust.
But giving the gift of love will endure.
