The Reason
{Written By, Candice Landis12/09/2013}
Twas A Month Before Christmas And All Over The World
People Waited With Great Expectation For The Black Friday Adds To Be Unfurled
Each Person Clutched To Their Hearts A List Of Names
The Perfect Gift Listed Beside Each One , From Cell Phones To Socks To The Latest Video Games
Forgetting Just The Day Before They Were Gathered With Family And Friends Giving Thanks
For All The Wonderful Blessings In Their Lives, Filling Their Bellies As If They Were Bottomless Tanks
Now It's Time To Put All That Aside And Concentrate On Completing That List
Rushing To Beat Each Other To The Best Deal On That Oh So Perfect Christmas Gift
In All That Adrenalin Filled Frenzy To Stretch The Dollar As Far As It Can Possibly Be
Haven't We Forgotten The Most Important Reason For Christmas, And One That Is Totally Free?
The One Who's Love For Us Is Unconditional, A Love So Deep He Gave His Very Life For You And Me ?
Is His Name On That List That You Clutch To Your Heart So Tightly?
Is There An Item On That List For Him That No Amount Of Earthly Money Could Ever Buy ?
One That Doesn't Require Batteries, An Engineering Degree Or Wi Fi
Have You Made A Note To Give All Your Love To Jesus Christ?
To Let Him Know, Especially On His Birthday, That He Is Still Number One In Your Life
That In All The Glittery Sparkly Things Of This Season Meant To Distract Us From Him
That You Remember And You Remain Devoted, Praise His Name, Let Him Know You're Still Tuned In
That My Friend Is The Christmas Seasons Most Important Number One Gift
To Reach Out To Jesus And Let Him Know That In All Things You Are Leaning And Trusting In Him
