12 Days of Christmas

On each day of Christmas, the gift I gave to Christ was ~

1 heartfelt prayer (for world peace)
2 bags of food (for the food pantry)
3 handmade scarves (for the needy children in downtown Rochester)
4 prayer quilts (given to children in the hospital)
5 shoebox gifts (for poor children around the world)
6 volunteer hours (in the soup kitchen)
7 packs of tampons (for the women’s shelter)
8 quiet moments (with those who are grieving)
9 Christmas carols (sung in the nursing home)
10 pairs of socks (for the men’s shelter)
11 lighted candles (in memory of loved ones)
12 hands held (in the cancer support group)

May God be pleased with such as these.
