Whatever is Pure

Christmas Challenge

( by Charlene Dyer )

Celebrate Christmas in style.

Beautiful trees, lights, presents, the gift of time with families and friends. Wonderful food and dessert spread all around the decorated table. Some people are just asking for a buttered bun and fresh fruit.

While some sleep with sugar plums dancing in their heads. Many are wishing for a warm and safe place to lay their heads.

Ladies in a women's shelter are in tears - thankful, when strangers donate a warm pair of socks and a thin pair of mitts for their Christmas gifts.
Some people receive hugs and kisses from people they care about most. Some get a door slammed in their face.

Some kids aren't thankful for their warm beds, pillows, teddy bears and TV while.many precious children ask if anyone cares about them.

Some spend thousands to make their homes look grand, did they notice the homeless man walking past their house, looking in, no coat to wear.
A sad teenage girl, no visitors, her Christmas tree on the end of a crane outside her hospital window, spending Christmas with the songs on the radio.

Some don't share the birth of Jesus, the person in whom Christmas is truly about. If this isn't your style, spread a little extra kindness, this will work too.

Bring back some old tradition, spread love and cheer. Say Merry Christmas sir, ma'am or miss as you are walk down the snowy streets.

Hand Christmas cards to strangers; you don't have to have a reason.

Invite a person from down the street for coffee, a bun and hot soup.

Take two dollars for every gift you buy, then buy an extra gift for a stranger.

Hang a gift on a stranger's door in the middle of the night, you might enjoy it.

Let's do something new & extra special for the holiday season!
