Christmas is soon approaching – shoppers seem to be slowing down, presents are now being wrapped – cards are being sent all around. There seems to be so little time – when there is so much to do, so, I decided to take a break – and send this Christmas wish to you. You’ve been on my mind – so many times every now and then, so I thought it time to get in touch – with this Christmas wish for you my friend. We could get together – at the corner cafe across the street, but it doesn’t really matter – where two friends want to meet. You are always close at hand – when I want to call on you, and you always love and care – for it shows in everything that you do. You always think first of me – when you’re near or far away, and my wish to you this Christmas – is that friends we will always stay. I wish you many blessings – and hope our hearts will keep, for that is where I’ll find you – when two friends want to meet! For when I look inside my heart – and see the love that dwells in there, I thank God for a friend like you – who has graced it with such tender care. You have given to me a path to trod – and opened my eyes so I could see, now I can trust and feel again – knowing how much you mean to me. When I thought my life was dark – and hid behind a wall of fear, you challenged me to seek the light – I found much more, for you were there. I found a purpose that set me free – that it meant more to give than to receive; so I choose to send this Christmas wish – that’s how much you mean to me. My friend, I give to you all I have – no broken heart, for it is healed, for seeing how God works through you – has made my way in life so real. This Christmas season is so filled with joy – filled with smiles and hopes to be, I pledge my love and loyalty to you – that’s what your friendship means to me. When your days grow dark or grey – and you need a friend to intercede, reach out your hand and I’ll pull you up, from the depths of the deepest sea! So during this special season - with Christmas gifts on my list, I decided to send you something special - my love for you as a Christmas wish!

Dear Lord would you please come rescue me Seems my life's in depression again you see Can't seem to reach my self, I don't know me My life is running me feeling insane so I plead Crawling back into my shell once more Never to come out again, no never more Seems depression is my life's daily bread With thoughts of lies running in my head Not much more do I think I can handle Just want to lie down, put out the candle Feel so down can't rise up to light my mantle People in my life who lie I just can't handle They say one thing then just do another Making a mockery of many loving others Of coarse I wouldn't know one way or another For that is something too that smothers You know my heart and I believe I'm worthy But ones in my life seem to make me scurry Want to run away fast as my body can hurry So tired of tears and lies my heart bares sorely Why must darkness seem to always surround me Can't seem to see the light for the tunnel around me My heart is heavy and my eyes are bleeding Wondering if my heart will quickly stop beating Will they miss me when I am called away Or will it be just another bothersome day Please touch me now before I blindly stray Nevermore to look upon another Sunny day

An Indian man walks into a cafe one early morning and noticed that he was the only dark skinned man there. As he sat down, he noticed a white man behind him. The white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here." The Indian man turned around and stood up. He then said: "Listen sir....when I was born I was brown. When I'm sick I'm brown. When I go in the sun I'm brown. When I'm cold I'm brown. When I die I'll be brown. But you sir, when you're born you're pink. When you grow up you're white. When you're sick, you're green. When you go in the sun you turn red. When you're cold you turn blue. When you die you turn purple. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The Indian man then sat back down and the white man walked away...

There’s a Man Who walks all over town Carry a cup Asking people To please fill it up Most look at him as a beggar Or a druggie or alcoholic But he in neither Of those things Some people give him money Just so they can hurry on there way Not wanting much to do With a man Begging on the street I always saw this Man Standing on the corner With his little cup One day I struck up a conversation With him I asked about his life And just who he was He said I am a homeless man But I’m not begging for me I was once a powerful man With a big important Job I worked many years Until the company Closed down I lost everything I own But when I was a working Man I always gave to the kids you see The ones that live in the orphanage It was something The company had done For many years Someone would dress up And play Santa Claus Well I just loved the feeling I had inside When I saw the smile And light In those Children’s eyes Every year When we would appear With a bag full of gifts Just for them So now I stand on the streets Yes the same streets On which I live And I hold my cup Hoping to fill it up I stand here all year long Waiting for the money to grow And then a couple weeks Before Christmas I go and buy the gifts The only thing I kept when I lost My job my home And everything I own Was this Santa claus suit I use some of the money To wrap up the gifts There are no names printed On the gifts As you never know When a new Child Has arrived So Christmas eve I go to the orphanage And I deliver the gifts The Children Scream and shout Santa Found our house Their little faces are all smiles And some have tears In their eyes And they jump and shout As I pass the gifts out The joy it brings to them Is the same joy it brings To me I tell them Merry Christmas And I bid them Goodnight I head out to the streets To find my bed For the night On Christmas eve I sleep better Than any other day Of the year Because my heart Is filled with joy And again the next day When I wake up I start out on the streets My home Again Asking for money To fill my cup again So if you see me On the streets Don’t look at me Like a common Beggar Remember I do this for the kids Who would otherwise Go without At Christmas time

In the desert far away from home There is sand like you have never known Soldiers sleeping in the dust, it has become a must They lay down their lives for you and I They never ask the question why. Soldiers having Christmas in Iraq Where most of the people do not understand our ways Most believe we do them wrong, On Christmas Eve we American's stay strong Life in Iraq must still go on, Their wives and little children Wish Daddy comes home soon. A feast for a king, Is what we serve on Christmas Day While our soldiers, fight in a hot desert, In the name of freedom, far away. Peace on earth, good will to men, Please Lord let this war soon end, They do not shed a tear They never break down They thank God for keeping their family safe and sound. Soldiers having Christmas in Iraq, With the taste of sand upon their lips They fight for our freedom, Let us hope they can make it stick. I am proud of our soldiers, for they do Only what they believe in I believe in them too. The United States soldiers are having Christmas far away I pray they will be with us, Next year on Christmas Day.

I noticed something different As I went about my day I seemed to have a shadow That followed all the way I would try to duck and lose it But as soon as I stood still And I peeked around my shoulder It was there just waiting till Waiting until I moved again It didn't care which way It was stuck to me like glue And it would not go away I began to think about it And this is what I surmised That often we do this ourselves While going through our lives We try to hide behind the things Just little things we sometimes do And after they are done it seems We wish we could undo But when we turn around to find They are lost somewhere That's because they hide behind us Little shadows unaware I think perhaps that this is how Our Father in Heaven keeps tabs For if He stands behind us He has to see the bads For little shadows tell it all And that even means the sin So if we're doing something wrong Better quit! You will not win God gives us choices always Each day a clean new slate Always the chance to begin again It never is too late I think that many folks don't know That God starts a new chart each day And that is why they feel so lost And they cannot find the way They feel so overburdened And when they turn about There is that little shadow again It's sure to find them out Well, that shadow I've decided Is what God gave another name He called it our 'conscience' And do I need to explain Well, conscience is the thing inside That tells us right from wrong And we carry it every where we go Because God made it belong So, instead of little shadows It's the conscience that is there And you can make each day right And all it takes is prayer So, go out into this brand new day Knowing your slate is clean And that we never are alone We always have the King

Well, now......here's something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when you know something about it? Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew"). Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather diff icult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird." And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing!
