It broke my heart when just minutes ago I read a post from someone I know, that they did not like Christmas, and was glad it would soon be over.

Now, I cannot be sure what he meant by that, but if you get caught up in the commercialism of it, the traffic messes that are involved, the hectic pace of being sure you got all the right gifts, or deciding if you want to buy gifts or not. If you mean that then I can agree. However, all the hustle and bustle of it is not what Christmas is about.

As Christians we must remember why we celebrate Christmas. It started with God so loving us that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. God sent His Son; God became flesh and dwelt among us.

When we are reminded of that we must be thankful, praising, and practicing the life of being Christ like in this world of darkness.

Christmas is the time to remember Christ death on the cross, His burial, and His resurrection; also remembering His promise that He will come again.

God bless you and have a Christ filled and Merry Christmas.

-Tim A.
