Merry CHRISTmas!
Merry CHRISTmas!
Yesterday, while doing last minute shopping, a man stopped me and my friend to tell us Merry CHRISTmas, then said, "I hope I didn’t offend you!" I said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" We told him we were glad to hear the words.
A young man told me this week, "I hate Christmas!" I said, "you know what…..it’s not about you or me, it’s all about Jesus." No matter what, if there are no gifts, no tree, no songs, no food, Christmas will still come.
Very rarely do I hear the words, "Merry CHRISTmas" on TV, out shopping and even our landlord told us "Happy Holidays". Department stores, the mall, grocery stores, the stock market raises and all make money because of CHRISTmas, yet society wants to take the CHRIST out of CHRISTmas. They cannot be separated. Jesus is the CHRIST. Society sees CHRISTmas as a ‘money making’ season instead of seeing the true meaning of this time of year.
It is no wonder our nation is in the condition we are in. This year is the first time our great nation is without a president who recognizes God as creator. The president said standing at the podium, if he were asked to choose between being a Christian or a Muslim, he would choose Muslim. So if American is invaded by the Muslims who is the president going to stand by? Who will the White House Cabinet stand by? Who do you think?
I love CHRISTmas. This is my favorite time of the year. I would love to have CHRISTmas year round, not for the gifts but for the happiness, love, joy and cheer that is spread abroad. Take time to read the CHRISTmas story in Luke 2:1-20.
Tell your children and family, friends and Merry CHRISTmas my dear loved ones. May God bless you in 2010 as never before. May we stand for America and be proud of our Christian heritage.
