A Season Set Apart

This is a season set apart for giving    
Our gifts that warm the heart,
As we celebrate Christ’s birthday
In a season set apart.
A season set apart for showing
How much we truly care
For those we share our lives with
And miss when they are not there.
A season set apart for going
That fabled “extra mile”
To help a needy stranger                                        image credit TheHolidaySpot
And leave him with a smile.
A season set apart for loving
All creature great and small
In honor of the Christ Child
Who loved them one and all.
It’s the season of thanksgiving
For all we have received,
For once upon a Christmas day,
He came and we believed.
