'Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The punch and the candy, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd not said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt---
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
"Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore---
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!--from Pastor's Tim's Clean Laughs.
by Monty & CJ Jones
THE MIRACLE:
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with Child and will give birth to a Son, and will call Him Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14)
THE BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT:
"But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.' Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.'" (Luke 2:10-14)
THE PERFECT GIFT:
"Every good and perfect gift is from above..." (James 1:17a)
THE GREATEST GIFT:
" . . . the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23b)
THE PERMANENT GIFT:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS:
"Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.'" (John 8:12)
THE MUSIC:
"Praise the Lord. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens. Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, praise Him with tambourine and dancing, praise Him with the strings and flute, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." (Psalm 150:1-6)
THE FOOD:
"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him." (Psalm 34:8)
THE WREATH:
"The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head..." (John 19:2)
THE COLOR RED:
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins..." (Ephesians 1:7a)
THE CANDY CANE:
"...by His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5b)
THE DOVE:
"...and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in the bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven; 'You are My Son, whom I love; with You I am well pleased.'" (Luke 3:22)
THE NUTCRACKER SOLDIERS ARMOR:
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Ephesians 6:13-17)
THE EVERGREEN TREE SYMBOLIZES EVERLASTING LIFE:
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?'" (John 11:25-26)
THE TRADITIONS CHANGE, YET GOD'S WORD IS ETERNAL:
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away." (Mark 13:31)
THE BEST GIFT TO SHARE:
"...for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13)
