“So warm by the fireplace we glow, all cozy and happy Hang all the stockings in a row, I've got the Christmas feeling I'll take it everywhere I go, And make this Christmas feeling grow”
Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. God sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born. His birth brought great joy to the world. Shepherds, wise men, and angels all shared in the excitement of knowing about this great event.
They knew this was no ordinary baby. The prophets had told of His coming hundreds of years before. The star stopped over Bethlehem just to mark the way for those who were looking for this special child.
Christmas has a way of making people feel all the feels. From the twinkling Christmas tree to the thoughtful gifts beneath it, there’s just something heartwarming about the holiday. For some it may mean the gifts under the tree, the lights in the windows, the cards in the mail, turkey dinners with family and friends, snow in the yard, stockings hanging in the living room, and shouts of "Merry Christmas" to those who pass us in the streets. But Is this really Christmas?
For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They don't have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmas time when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons.
Turkey dinners may be only a wish and not a reality for some. Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.
However sometimes it's hard when you grow older, as the business and pressures cause you to lose that wondrous spirit of Christmas. When money is tight and time is too, you can end up feeling disappointed, lost or dreading Christmas. Yet, everyone deserves to feel special at Christmas. Restoring the spirit of Christmas time 2014 is worth everyone’s focus and they feel better for it after.
Yet, Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for His people. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. If everyone looks at Christmas in a different way this season, then it is a season to invite Jesus to our hearts. This joy and the peace will last in our hearts for ever and ever.
Jesus Is The Reason For The Season! Rejoice!
