Hello Linda, thank you for your Merry Christmas wishes. Your poem reads and flows well and your message is clear. Of special note:

I ask that we pray for those
who are less fortunate
that they will find shelter,
and food on this blessed holiday,
and always

(Linda, this Christmas I could not stop thinking about the people of Kentucky who lost their homes, church, township and more. As I said to my husband, "even Jesus had a manger to sleep in." These poor, poor people of KY have been left with nothing. For those, I pray.)

Well done. Happy New Year, my FS friend.

    Hi Margaret, when I saw the videos of what the tornados
    had done...I just laid on the couch and cried...and when I think about it...I still do...I told my girlfriend...if I were a billionaire...I would go there and start rebuilding their homes...as many as I could at a time...I prayed they all had family and friends to take them in...

    I lived in Illinois...my husband passed and I...lived in Plainfield...it was called tornado alley...because a tornado went through there and traveled 120 miles...it was years ago...but that is what this tornado reminded me of...I have never seen one this bad in my life...it was overwhelming...

    Hi hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas...
    Thank You for a wonderful review...God Bless...love you...Linda xxoo

    Hi Judy, Thank you my beautiful friend for wonderful review...
    and all your shinning stars...

    I did have a awesome Christmas...I went to my sons...and friends...and it was great...I gained over 2 pounds for the holidays...so after New Years...I'm going to try and drop them...LOL...

    I haven't cooked for the holidays in a few years...most of the time I go to my girlfriends...or my sons...everyone wants to do there own thing now...I miss not having the house full on the holidays days...but time changes so many things...sigh...

    I'm glad everyone else did everything for you on this holiday...
    and hope it was amazing...Thank You Judy...love and Blessing to you...Linda xxoo

Hi Linda, been awhile since we communated.I've been gone for a few weeks, but I'm back now. Your title says Christ was born on Christmas Day. His virgin birth was what made it Christmas Day. Until He was born every day was just another day. Anyway, you have a blessed up comeing year. -Parson

    Hi Jerry, so good to see you my sweet friend...
    Thank You for a wonderful review...
    I have also been off and on the site a bit myself...

    had a few deaths in my family...and a best friend...
    was a bit overwhelming...

    but with the people in my church being there for me...
    and my girlfriend...it was her husband who passed...she is...and he was my best friends...there is some comfort there...

    I hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas Day...
    God Bless you...and peace be with you throughout the year...
    love Linda xxoo

Hi dear Linda,
Thank you dear for this beautiful Holiday message, both personal
and also very poignantly and properly reminding us of the real
reason and purpose of Christmas! So easy to get lost amidst

I truly hope, you and yours have a truly warm and loving Christmas,
and most blessed of New Year's! And thank you too especially
for your inspiring and endearing messages and remembrances
on FS...always timely and comforting. God Bless you, stay safe
and well, loved and loving as indeed you are, especially by me
for being such an especially unique friend. You are awesome!
Love, blessings always, Ronni

Beautifully expressed sentiments about the meaning of Christmas. The only suggestion I have is that perhaps you might have devoted a stanza to a theme or themes that Jesus promoted during his life such as deference toward the marginalized, what he called "the least of us." Otherwise, a perfect message for the season.

    Thank You...it says all it needed to say...reminding us of the reason for the season...Jesus Christ birthday...and remembering to pray for the less fortunate...and those who have lost so much this year...and always...

    I see your new...we have the right to make suggestions about other peoples writings...but not to personalize them for ourselves...low ratings are for mistakes made...

reply by Augie Medina on 26-Dec-2021
    I am mystified re your comment of "personalizing." Doesn't any suggestion imply the suggester might have implemented the suggestion himself?
reply by the author on 27-Dec-2021
    nothing to be mystified over...
    you wrote...
    The only suggestion I have is that perhaps you might have devoted a stanza...etc...

    that is your own personal thought...not mine...I thank you for the suggestion...
    they are always considered...

    but not that you low rated the poem because
    the suggestion wasn't there...that's called "personalizing" it to what you would've said...because I didn't write it on there...
    doesn't mean you should...

    low rating a poem is for mistakes...
    not because someone feels the writing should say something they would want it to say...
    corrections of mistakes are a good thing...
    they are what is rated...

    personal suggestions are a good thing...I have used some of the suggestions people have given...but because you make a
    suggestion...doesn't warrant a low rating...

Thank you, Linda for these beautiful thoughts wishes and a prayer. I, too, am burdened by the plight of others who will not have a Merry Christmas. My hubby and I are starting a homeless project after Christmas. We just have to do something.
Thank you for sharing this post. I wish you and yours a blessed time of celebrating our Savior, good health and memories made during the holiday.
Love you too!
Tina

    Hi Tina, like you...I thought about all those who
    for whatever reason...wouldn't have a Merry Christmas...

    is wonderful...today any help done...is a blessing...
