Bah Humbug!

I had a converstion the other day in the checkout line.

The man who I talked with was unhappy about everything

to do with Christmas, even the fact that gift cards

have taken the place of cash etc...

As he grumbled on and on I started

thinking about what Christmas means to me

so I asked him,

"Do you celebrate the true meaning

of Christmas, Jesus birth?"

and he responded "I believe he was a 

good man, but other than that, no, I don't."

Well there you have it, if any one of us forgets

what Christmas means we have plenty to grumble 

about and if we forget that every day 

of every year is a celebration

of Christ then I believe

we not only miss out on Christmas

but we miss out on life!  

I pray that each of you is living a full

and joyous Christmas season,

even if things might be hard in life

or you may be lonely...

I'm both of those things today,

but I am choosing to celebrate the

King of Glory and the Prince of Peace,

I hope you'll join me!
