God’s Gift
December 4th, 2009
In all of our giving
on Christmas Day morning
remember God’s Gift
the manger adorning.
Read from the Gospels
the wonderful story
how Jesus came down
from the splendors of glory
to live here a while—
Christ among men,
the Light of the world—
the Atonement for sin.
Let Christ be exalted
in our jubilation—
He came to earth
to bring us salvation.
In the joy and excitement
on Christmas Day morning,
give thanks for God’s gift
the manger adorning.

Thank you for blessing us once again by reminding us of the greatest gift of Christmas. May the entire Whitten family have a healthy and wonderful Christmas.
Nice work, Joe. As usual.
Joe, This is just beautiful ! Thank you so much for sharing this poem with us.
Wonderful poem Mr. Whitten. Wishing you a very happy holiday!
As always we have received a lovely gift from you, Joe.
Beautiful, Mr. W.
This would make a great Christmas anthem if it was put to music.
Thanks for reminding us what it’s really all about, Mr. Whitten. Merry Christmas to all the Whittens.
Mr.W., you are a class act to the nth degree. I always enjoy what you have to say and your poems are very warm and thought provoking!!

hey Joe, Way to Go… Thanks.
Mr. Joe, thanks for the wonderful poem and the reminder of what the season is about. Hope Gail is doing well. We missed you both at the last Cancer support group meeting. Best wishes and Merry Christmas!!
Amen: I am so thankful that God sent you to the town of Odenville to teach at St. Clair County High School. You and Gail will never know how many lives you have inspired throughout the years. I pray God’s blessings on both of you.
