Another year, another Christmas--let us not miss the meaning of it.
In our highly commercial society, it is so very easy to lose sight of the true Christmas. You get tired of reading diatribes like this one, but the point is important. As I have quoted Ben T. before, "Our biggest problem has already been solved!" That is the true present, and one well worth celebrating.
As I enjoy my 71st Christmas I realize that it is so easy for me, and you, to be caught up in "the here and now". The bills must be paid, the leaves raked, the cooking done. We are so very distracted. Yes, we are like the disciples, and perhaps more like the Scribes and Pharisees. We want the good times rolling NOW!
For those who know the Christ, we have a better alternative. We can set our minds on what is above. We can endeavor to focus on the immortal nature of mankind, including ourselves. We can choose to rejoice that our future is secure, and that G^d's greatest gift has been received.
So amidst the hustle and bustle, amidst the gifts and decorations, let us all take time to thank the L^rd our G^d for Jesus the Christ, the "reason for the season", the "Greatest Gift" and the Savior of the World.
Thank you L^rd!
