When you are alone and sad
It’s not so easy to find some joy
Unless we try to think of others.
How can we bring some gladness
To our sisters and brothers?
How can we help them feel some happiness?
Sometimes we need to look outside ourselves
And find a way to bring back the joy
Buy a gift for a poor girl or boy
Help with a community Christmas dinner
Try giving a little of yourself.
It will help you feel like a winner.
Forgetting about self for a while
May not always be your style
But opening your heart
Is really a wonderful start
And a way to show some Christian witness.
So how will you be finding some joy at Christmas?
