Holy humanity will, inadvertently on occasion cause a hurt.
Carnality purposely causes hurts!
These “hurts” may seem the same to one receiving them,
But they are Oh, so different in the eyes of an all knowing God.

Pick up the loose holly leaves,
Sweep the carpet and then,
Pack the wreath away to stay,
In the Christmas-stuff, storage bin.
Untwine the silver ribbons,
From chandelier so thin,
Slow down the pace of this place,
For Christmas is over again.
Chop the tree into firewood,
Place used boxes away.
The train for lad (and Dad),
Crate up for the next special day.
Candles and fancy paper,
In the seat by “the bay,”
Right beside the gowns that hide,
The shepherds in each Christmas play.
Does the Spirit of Christmas
Likewise, find Itself packed
And, with the pear tree, to be
In the far away attic stacked?
Oh – It will be used next year,
No luster will be lacked;
Unless abuse or disuse,
Find It broken or sadly cracked.
May the Spirit of Christmas be left intact.
Leave It, please leave It, unpacked!
The more that you choose It,
And prayerfully use It,
The less likely It is to be cracked. – eab, 12/14/81

H (Hamilton) Robb French was born this day in Denver, CO. He graduated from Trevecca College (Nashville, TN) in 1915 and went on to become one of the most clear voices for heart purity in the 20th century. I knew him personally and found him to be the most godly man I ever knew.
