The signs are there…Christmas is approaching. The neighbors are racing each other to see who decorates the house first…hope they are as anxious to share the real meaning as well as the pretty-ness. The black Friday sales are still going strong and with this economy probably will until the day of. I just pray that the real gift isn’t lost amidst all the glitter and gilt. So pretty, yet often so empty and meaningless.
I love all the glitter and gold, all the beautiful lights and decorations, but there seems to be something missing in so many displays. I love Santa and Rudolph and Frosty as much now as when I was a child. Yet now I want to see the real thing as much as the fairy tales. I want to see the reason for the season…I want to see Jesus honored on His day. I want to see the holy-ness that brings the real happy-ness.I long to know that people understand that there is no Christmas without Jesus Christ.
No, I’m not a Scrooge, just want it to be the real thing. Not just a holiday, but a Holyday…’cause guess what!…that’s what it is. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas…with a CAPITAL “C”! …and a very Happy Birthday Jesus!
(They call themselves the Go Fish Guys (as in fishers of men). They love Jesus and they love kids. Here they are doing Christmas with a Capital C…as it should be!
