All Of Our Hope Is In Jesus.
’Twas the Day after Christmas
’Twas the day after Christmas,
When all through the place
There were arguments and depression—
Even Mom had a long face.
The stockings hung empty,
And the house was a mess;
The new clothes didn’t fit …
And Dad was under stress.
The family was irritable,
And the children—no one could please;
Because the instructions for the swing set
Were written in Chinese!
The bells no longer jingled,
And no carolers came around;
The sink was stacked with dishes,
And the tree was turning brown.
The stores were full of people
Returning things that fizzled and failed,
And the shoppers were discouraged
Because everything they’d bought was now on half-price sale!
’Twas the day AFTER Christmas—
The spirit of joy had disappeared;
The only hope on the horizon
Was twelve bowl games the first day of the New Year!
—Charles R. Swindoll, sermon, “Since Christ Has Come … What’s Happening?”
December 27, 1992
The more i keep my mind on God and the things of God the more pleasure i have in life.
Read the Cards
A lady had a circle of friends for whom she really wanted to buy Christmas presents.
Time slipped away and it was so busy at work for her she just wasn’t able to get to the store to purchase those gifts.
Time was running out.
So not too many days before Christmas she decided to give up on the gift idea and just buy everybody the same beautiful Christmas card.
She went to the local gift store and hurriedly went through the now picked over stack of cards and found a box of fifty, just exactly what she wanted.
She didn’t take time to read the message, she just noticed a beautiful cover on it and there was gold around it and a floral appearance on the front of the card and she thought, That’s perfect.
So she signed all of them, “With all my love.”
As New Year’s came and she had time to go back to two or three cards she didn’t send from that stack, she was shocked to read the message inside.
It said, in a little rhyme, “This Christmas card is just to say, a little gift is on its way.”
