This time of year is full of visits
and visiting. We look forward to seeing family, friends, and “old
acquaintances” as the song goes. With less than ten days left, children world-wide wait with anticipation. And as much as I hate to admit, I, too, find
myself singing the words, “You better watch out, you better not pout . . .” In the busyness of it all, I try to redirect my focus; replace some of the words, "Jesus is coming to town"; and
make sure my “heart prepare Him room.”
Too
many of the traditions reflecting on the “reason for the season” have slowly
been replaced. Just in the past three years “someone” decided it was
politically incorrect to say those sacred words, “Merry Christmas.” It’s time
to put the intentional back into the
celebration of our Savior’s birth. How would it feel if the children you
invited to your child’s birthday party arrived with the greeting: “Party-time,”
or, “Where’s my gifts?” Instead of
“Happy Birthday!”
This
week we will focus on the meaning behind the man Santa. Let's also “watch out” and put the “Merry” back where it belongs during Christmas by spreading the good cheer to all. Father God loves to
celebrate his only begotten son by
giving gifts to all of His extended family. One day we “will see THE SON OF MAN
COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory.” (Luke 21:27)
