The Gift of God's Love
Helen Steiner Rice
All over the world at this season,
Expectant hands reach to receive
Gifts that are lavishly fashioned,
T
he finest that man can conceive.
For, purchased and given at Christmas
Are luxuries we long to possess,
Given as favors and tokens
To try in some way to express
That strange, indefinable feeling
Which is part of this glad time of year
When streets are crowded with shoppers
And the air resounds with good cheer.
But back of each tinsel-tied package
Exchanged at this gift-giving season,
Unrecognized often by many,
Lies a deeper, more meaningful reason.
For, born in a manger at Christmas
As a gift from the Father above,
An infant whose name was called Jesus
Brought mankind the gift of God's love.
And the gifts that we give have no purpose
Unless God is a part of the giving,
And unless we make Christmas a pattern
To be followed in everyday living.
