As we approach Christmas I would like to remind everyone that Jesus is the Reason for the Season. It is so easy to get caught up in getting ready for family to come in, buying and wrapping presents, and even taking care of a broken ankle, to forget why we celebrate Christmas.
If Jesus had not been born 2,000 years ago, who knows where we all would be right now. So I am declaring a 7 day waiting period on asking for anything.
I think for the next 7 days when we want to ask people for something, we should stop and just be thankful for what we have.
If you feel the urge to ask somebody for something, call them and thank them for all they have done in the past for you.
If you find yourself thinking about all the things you don't have this Christmas, stop and thank God for all you do have.
If you are dreading seeing those relatives you "put up" with once a year at the family Christmas part, take Pastor Noel's advice from last Sunday and talk to them how Christ coming to earth has changed your life.
And whatever you get. or don't get, for Christmas remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season. That is the greatest present of them all.
