‘Tis the season; Jesus is the reason. Christmas is near to bring holiday cheer. A time to give gifts, a time for charity, People helping people, in December not a rarity. Salvation Army kettles placed in many a store Help many people, especially the poor. The Ole Grinch and Mister Scrooge at this time of year won’t be a deluge. Families reuniting, ceasefires instead of fighting, Homeless people being fed, the Holy Bible being read, The virgin birth of Jesus Christ who would later pay the price. Toys for Tots and the U.S. Marine Corps With dress blues and white gloves which the children adore. Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of salvation. May you protect and bless our great nation.
