Santa Claus is coming to town
Let's remember the heart behind Christmas is not about going out and putting yourself in debt to give you children everything they want in life. It isn't about that popular toy or piece of clothing. The spirit of Christmas, is fast becoming an endangered species in our culture today. We slash at it unintentionally with questions like, “What do you want for Christmas?” Christmas is the selected date that we celebrate the birth of Jesus and the start of his path to the cross where he will ultimately die for our sins. Jesus bought us forgiveness and gives us new life Christmas to me is a way of life. Christmas symbolized God's sacrifice, love, grace and generosity for us all. It is a time to reach out to one another and be God in each other's lives. Show love. Be generous. Sacrifice for those that are in need. Give grace where needed. I truly believe that we should live everyday of our lives this way, but of course life gets in the way and we all forget.
