T’was a month before Christmas,
And all through the town,
People wore masks,
That covered their frown.

The frown had begun
Way back in the Spring,
When a global pandemic
Changed everything.

They called it corona,
But unlike the beer,
It didn’t bring good times,
It didn’t bring cheer.

Airplanes were grounded,
Travel was banned.
Borders were closed
Across air, sea and land.

As the world entered lockdown
To flatten the curve,
The economy halted,
And folks lost their nerve.

From March to July
We rode the first wave,
People stayed home,
They tried to behave.

When summer emerged
The lockdown was lifted.
But away from caution,
Many folks drifted.

Now it’s December
And cases are spiking,
Wave two has arrived,
Much to our disliking.

It’s true that this year
Has had sadness a plenty,
We’ll never forget
The year 2020.

And just ‘round the corner –
The holiday season,
But why be merry?
Is there even one reason?

To decorate the house
And put up the tree,
Who will see it,
No one but me.

But outside my window
The snow gently falls,
And I think to myself,
Let’s deck the halls!

So, I gather the ribbon,
The garland and bows,
As I play those old carols,
My happiness grows.

Christmas is not cancelled
And neither is hope.
If we lean on each other,
I know we can cope ❤❤❤

Look at Judges 17:6 ,

In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

+Because of this mentality and behavior judgement and destruction came upon man.

+It is not good for man to do what’s right in his own eyes. WE ARE ONLY TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT IN GOD’S EYES.

+Over the years men have become stronger in doing the wrong things and too weaker in doing the right things.

+It should never be about what man thinks or about what he wants.

Proverb 3:5-7

…lean not to your own understanding.

6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct your paths.

7 Be not wise in your own eyes…

+When we live by every Word of God, the Word of God will KEEP us, the Spirit of God will GUIDE us, and the POWER of God will operate through us.

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
