Decorate What You Have
One Christmas Eve, as late Christmas shoppers hurried along the
street, a crippled newsboy stood on his crutches offering his papers to
the passersby. He looked happy, and his crutches were decorated with
evergreens. One man greeted him with a cheerful smile, "My boy, you
surely have the Christmas spirit." The boy replied "What's the
use of putting on a sour face? Sure, I am poor and lame, but that's no
reason for looking glum. I won't get presents like other boys at
Christmas, but I can have fun, too. So I decorated my crutches just to
make them seem special for Christmas." If we go out to seek joy, it
will elude us. If we go out to impart joy, we will find it. This
Christmas, whether you have little or much, it makes no difference. It
is your attitude that counts.
