My Christmas Wish List

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas this year is:

1. A grocery gift card—to fill the shelves of the food panty.
2. Unlimited supply of PVC pipe—to send clean water to other parts of the world.
3. New, dry pillow—for the child whose own is tear-soaked.
4. A new Bible—for everyone who wants one and isn't allowed to have one.
5. Snow boots—for all the kids whose feet will be wet and cold all winter.
6. Make-up—for the wife who doesn't want to answer yet another question on why her husband would do that to her. She doesn't know why.
7. Sore knees—from being on them so much praising and thanking God for all that He has done.
8. A peace that surpasses all understanding—for all my friends who lost a loved one this year and will celebrate their first Christmas without them.
9. 2012 Calender—to fill up with appointments, assemblies and assignments that accomplish His will, not mine.
10. Sunglasses—for a future so bright I can hardly believe I deserve it.
