Counting Down I'm counting the days till Christmas, Just eight after today. I'm keeping track, not because I'm Eager to receive gifts, but to Give them away instead. Today I blitzed the post office With candy canes. It was fun to see the smiles, The jolly laughs, And hear "Thank you, Thank you" over and over again. Checking off my kindness calendar Has made the season exciting, Rewarding. But a verse comes to mind: "Let your light so shine before men That they may see your good works And glorify your Father which Is in heaven." * I keep reminding myself that the Purpose of doing good deeds is not To draw attention to myself. Ever. But it's solely, Completely, Eternally, Always about Him. *Matthew 5:16 |
