Where Are You Christmas

Where Are You Christmas    This year as I struggled so hard to find my Christmas Spirit Not the one of celebration of my Precious Savior for I carry that with me every day of my life But the one of giving. You see my pockets were empty and the promise of the New Year ahead would leave them of no hope of change. Half of my joy in Christmas is the Santa part in being able to give, especially to my grandchildren. Oh they would have understood when I told them "I'm sorry, but Nana just doesn't have it this year" but I would not understand for it is my joy... and this year it appeared that was going to be the dreaded thing I would have to say and accept ... Until... I was sitting at my desk this past week when a group of awesome people showed me both sides of Christmas. Finding Christmas Twas' the week before Christmas I was feeling quite blue How could I give Well I really had not a clue Times are so hard for everyone it seems This world is full of many shattered dreams Christmas this year not knowing what to do its about My precious Saviors birth but I still believe Santa too The real meaning of this season for all is cost free but the Santa part takes money you see. My dilemma and pain in Santa I would fall short This year no gifts I could give I would have to report When much to my surprise my Santa did appear No gifts to give? Well they removed that fear I can not begin to express how deeply my heart they did touch and words can not convey my thank you so much My heart filled so full tears spilled upon my face my worry and pain they so quickly erased My search for Santa was brought to an end and was given to me by such awesome friends. The love that was given gave my heart such a lift Merry Christmas to you all and thank you for this gift. Hugs and Love ღ  Donna  ღ You have given me the greatest gift of all ... Love ...

If your heart was any sweeter, I'd be going through this snowstorm to the Dentist..:") Its beautioful Donna, each and every word pure and perfect. I dont know where any of us would be without SOMEone watching over us. This is the meaning of Christmas that everybody should get accustomed to. You have done it again Sweetie....I can still remember vaguely, your first poem

[Aspiring Angel]

Oh sweetie, I knew before I even came to this link this morning that before I left you, I would be crying because of how you were going to touch my heart. Sometimes when we have our way to almost giving up, the true meaning of the season, touches hearts and brings to us what we so deperately need to find joy. In your case you wanted so desperately to find a way to give, and becuse there are still some pretty awsome people in this world we live in, you now can. This is a beuatiful gift from your heart in a way of showing how much their gift of love means to you.

Of course we are on the phone almost non stop throughout our day when you are not working and always on your way home from work. I know exactly how this wonderous gift of love touched your heart. When you heart is truly touched you come to your keys and touch ours as well.

Sweetie, we will find Christmas and I thank your friends for helping my dearest of dearest friends find hers.

When there is love in your heart and your mind, you will find Christmas all the time. What an awesome song to put behind your sincere and beautiful words.

Love you girlie girl and Merry Christmas,
Lesa

You are so right my friend... the true meaning is lost these days... Love and family and love is all you need to have the true spirit of Christmas. We have to remember those less fortunate then us and pass some of that spirit on.

I'm glad you found that spirit. You give from the heart so much and I know even without the ribbons and bows you still would be the same wonderful person that you always are!!!
