Clara read this poem to her Sunday school class at a Christmas party on Dec. 10, 1998. A Pattern for Living Christmas is more than a day at the end of the year, More than a season of joy and good cheer, Christmas is really God's pattern for living To be followed all year by unselfish giving ... For the holiday season awakens good cheer And draws us closer to those we hold dear, And we open our hearts and find it is Good To live among men As We Always Should ... But as soon as the tinsel is stripped from the tree The spirit of Christmas fades silently Into the background of daily routine And is lost in the whirl of life's busy scene, And all unawares we miss and forego The greatest blessing that mankind can know ... For if we lived Christmas each day, as we should, And made it our aim to always do good, We'd find the lost key to meaningful living That comes not from Getting, but from unselfish Giving ... And we'd know the great joy of Peace Upon Earth Which was the real purpose of our Saviour's birth, For in the Glad Tidings of the first Christmas night, God showed us The Way and the Truth and the Light! - Helen Steiner Rice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANN FUENTES Ann Elizabeth Cortese Fuentes, 82, of San Angelo died Saturday, Dec. 12, 1998.
