AMAZING GROWTH IN JUST TEN DAYS
by Sharon Rondeau
(Dec. 4, 2013) — A week and a half ago, I wrote a story about my cyclamen plant, which seemed to have died last summer.
In September, signs of life began to reappear, and a seeming miracle unfolded.
The plant is now just as lovely as it was before it went into dormancy in July.
On November 24, one flower stem had emerged which today is tall and wide open. Almost from nowhere, two more flowers appeared and are showing color, with the promise of many more to come.
What more proof do we need that much can happen in ten days?
possibly this is the place for…
THE FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD
Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
Why the PC Police had taken away
The reason for Christmas – no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say
>>>>>December 25th is just a ‘Holiday’.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanza
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe’s the word Christmas – was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny’s and Sears
You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate ‘Winter Break’ under your ‘Dream Tree’
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!
Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason’ for the Christ-mas Season!
If you agree please forward, if not, simply delete.
Oh Cyclamen plant, Oh Cyclamen plant
You are our Christmas Tree
Oh how happy you must be!
To be our Christmas Tree.
Oh Cyclamen plant, Oh Cyclamen plant
Under Obamacare’s Death Panels
You surely would’ve died
But Sharon doesn’t buy into the fake hype
Doesn’t like the de facto charlatan Obama
Tells him off to go fly a kite
And WE ALL AGREE here at the P&E.
