    Default Christmas tree

    There once was a shining Christmas tree
    Standing out where all could see.
    Its brilliance captured very eye
    And seemed to cheer each passer-by.

    "The lights are so bright", they would say
    And hesitate to walk away.
    The tree stood proud ablaze with light
    For every light was burning bright.

    Then one bulb was heard to say
    "I'm tired of burning night and day;
    I think I'11 just go out and rest
    For I'm too tired to do my best;
    Besides, I am so very small
    I doubt if I'd be missed at all."

    Then a child lovingly touched the light

    "Look,mother, this one shines so very bright.
    I think of all the lights upon the tree
    This one looks the best to me."

    "Oh my goodness," said the light
    "I almost dimmed right out of sight.
    I thought perhaps no one would care
    If I failed to shine my share."
    With that a glorious brilliance came
    For every light had felt-the same.

    Our Gospel, like this Christmas tree

    With little lights which are you and me

    We each have a space that we must fill
    With love, and lessons and good will.
    Let's keep our tree ablaze with light
    With testimonies burning bright.

    For our Gospel is a living tree
    That lights the way to eternity.

    Very uplifting, Pebbles. Thank you for posting. It reminds me of the movie "It's a wonderful life".

    That is one of my all time favorite movies. It makes you stop and think what life is all about.
