CORINTHIANS 13 STYLE
If I
decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows,
strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls,
but do not show love to my family,
I'm just another decorator.  If I slave
away in the kitchen,
baking dozens of
Christmas cookies,
preparing gourmet
meals
and arranging a beautifully adorned
table at mealtime,
but do not show love to
my family,
I'm just another cook.
 If I work at
the soup kitchen,
carol in the nursing home
and give all that I have to charity,
but do
not show love to my family,
it profits me
nothing. If I trim
the spruce with shimmering angels and crocheted snowflakes,
attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the
choir's cantata
but do not focus on
Christ,
I have missed the point.
Love stops
the cooking to hug the child. Love sets
aside the decorating to kiss the husband. Love is
kind, though harried and tired. Love doesn't
envy another's home
that has coordinated
Christmas china and table linens. Love doesn't
yell at the kids to get out of the way. Love doesn't
give only to those
who are able to give in
return
but rejoices in giving to those who
can't. Love bears
all things,
believes all
things,
hopes all things,
endures all things. Love never
fails.
Video games will break,
pearl necklaces will be lost,
golf clubs will rust.
But
giving the gift of love will endure.
