The Christmas Ten Commandments
-
Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let Him be at the top of thy
Christmas shopping list.
-
Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Spend not so much on gifts
that thy soul is forgotten.
-
Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day
of its spiritual reality.
-
Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant
with complaints and demands.
-
Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift. This will increase its value a
hundred fold, and he who receiveth it shall treasure it forever.
-
Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost. Even the least
expensive may signify love, and that is more priceless than silver and
gold.
-
Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Share thy blessings with many who
will go hungry and cold unless thou are generous.
-
Thou shalt not neglect thy church. Its services highlight the true
meaning of the season.
-
Thou shalt be as a little child. Not until thou has become in spirit
as a little one art thou ready to enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
-
Thou shall not forget to share your joy, peace and faith with those
around you.
