I found this in Acadiana Catholic booklet. BUT you do NOT have to be Catholic to get something out of this. Please read and share your thoughts. It was sponsored by a local dentistry. I think Christmas time is 

Explore Your Faith

I am flat broke from overspending at Christmas time, but I need to go shopping again soon because I am completely out of self-respect.  I've said things I wish I could take back and I am not feeling too good about myself.

I also want to exchange a cart of self righteousness for an equal amount of humility. I hear that it is less expensive and wears well,  and while I'm at it I'm going to check on tolerance and see if there is any available in my size.

I must remember to try to match my patience with the little I have left. My neighbor is loaded with it and it looks awfully good on her. I was told the same department has a repair shop. for mending integrity. Mine has become frayed around the edges from too much compromise.  If I don't get it refurbished soon. there won't be any left.

I almost forgot the most important thing of all-- compassion. If I see some, no matter what the color, size or shape I'm going to stock up heavily regardless of the price.  I have run out of it so many times and I always feel ashamed when it happens.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to get around the shopping for these items. They don't cost nearly as much as some of the  frivolous things  I've bought for Christmastime, and I'll get a lot more satisfaction from them.

Yes, I'm going shopping today, and I can leave my checkbook and credit cards at home. The things I'm looking for have no price tags--what a joy.

I love this. I think it sends s a great message. 

Do you have any inspiration quotes, poems or thoughts? I'd love to hear.

Until next time...during the season of excitement waiting for Jesus'   birthday when you pass someone as you shop, say Merry Christmas and smile!
