Random Thoughts for December
It’s hard to believe Christmas is now less than a week away. I love this time of year but, as much as I’m looking forward to some time off and a change of pace, I don’t feel quite ready for it.
Weather is changing everywhere it seems right now. Up until a year or two ago, we would be experiencing freezing weather this time of year. Proof that God is God and we are not?
This is the time of year where people talk about peace on earth and good will to men. Are we exhibiting the peace and love we talk and sing about? We can’t expect the world to show those things if we’re not.
As I always caution this time of year, don’t get so into the hustle and bustle of the season that you forget the Reason we celebrate. CHRISTmas is not about gifts and trees and lights. I enjoy those things but the Reason we celebrate is that Jesus Christ humbled Himself and came to earth as a baby in a manger. He came to His own and His own received Him not but, to those who did receive Him, He gave power to become the child of God. THAT is what I’m celebrating. All the festivities are just a reminder of what Jesus has done for me.
