Here it is Christmas, and I don’t know what to do. I haven’t even shopped for the family nor you.

You say you aren’t surprised for the dilemma I’m in; because it is always the way I fail to begin.

It is also hard to get motivated, when my spirit isn’t elevated.

And no one is to blame but me.

We can so easily miss the season, when we fail to remember He is the reason.

So let us rejoice in the majesty of His birth, and we will begin to feel our self worth.

For unto us a Savior was born, so why do we feel so forlorn?

Let us get into the spirit of giving, and give new meaning to living.
