Tis the season to be jolly and happy. Well, that is at least until you see that you over spent your paycheck on gifts for people that they really do not need. don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. It is the season that Christians celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ, the Lord in the flesh. One thing that I think Christ would be unhappy about is the way that we truly do not follow his word. God tells us to be simple, to come last, to offer help to others, and to love everyone. Often people get the wrong idea about what love is and think that it has something to do with giving outrageous amounts of money or gifts. Love is not material. It is the way we act towards one another, giving a helping hand, offering to help out a friend, giving to the needy (not giving the rich in expectation to receive more), praying for a special someone, or just doing a favor to lighten the load for someone else. These ideas enumerate love. Remember your friends and family and take time to say I love you to some close to you. Share with them a handshake or hug and remember that this year’s time of giving doesn’t have to include a $20 gift certificate or a new stereo. Show your friends and family you really love them by talking to them or giving a helping hand.
Also, I would like to mention the death of actress Britney Murphy. Her talent on this Earth was beyond most actresses of her time. I pray and hope your family the best. Godspeed and rest in peace.

Amen to that.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 9:6-7
(6) For us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (7) Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righeousness from this time forth and forevermore.
Merry Christmas
God Bless,
