When I was a little girl in my Catholic grammar school, I was asked by a sister to recite a poem for the school Christmas performance. It was simple and she was excited to have me to do it, as I was for the privilege. It was almost like our secret. She practiced it with me, and I recited it with all my heart. Because that was the point. This, she knew that I knew, was the point!
"What can I give him, poor as I am, if I were a shepherd, I'd give him a lamb, If I were a wise man, I'd do my part. What can I give Him; give Him my heart."
( It turns out that this was only the last stanza of a well know Christmas song:A Christmas Carol by Christina Rossetti - 1830-1894. But that's a post for another day!)
Today, this song, this video, recaptured that heart-giving for me!
