The holidays are here! People rushing into stores trying to get that perfect gift before its sold out; People cleaning and cooking for all the guest; decorating the tree and putting up Christmas lights. Do very many people ever stop and think, What Christmas is really about, Christ? No. They are so busy trying to please other people and themselves! Do all the presents and stuff really matter? No, they do not! You may find pleasure in the thing you get and the excitement... but that all fades away... Spending your Christmas (and everyday forth) honoring Christ in everything you do, is the satisfaction that will remain with you! Sure it's exciting to get presents and see family, but not as exciting as honoring Christ and seeking the beauty of His face!
People get so over excited and overwhelmed, that they never stop and think which is more pleasing. Christ.
I thank God for sending His Son! It's so breath taking! It makes me cry with a joyful song in praise of Him!
Hannah,
