Christmas Ready Or Not???
Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Christmas time. Two months to early you say, I think Not. Every where you look, super stores are starting with all there christmas promotions, But is it to early to start buying christmas gifts, start stocking up on all the nice goodies. Start planning what will be on the menu at the Christmas Eve Dinner? Start sending out post cards to all of your family members who stay to far and hope they don't receive it next year.
Each year our family would come together, on christmas eve, and one of the older men whould dress up as santa, we would wake the kids up at about 11 or 12 o clock and the fun would start.
Kids running around all exited, getting cookies and milk ready, waiting in suspence, for santa to come walking down the isle. ( No chimny santa's in South Africa) To Hot!
Selebrating what Jesus Stood for while On earth, and what He Stands for In our lives. Showing Compasion to others, being noble, Friendly and loving, forgiving.
Although being with family and friends is the best place to be while selebrating all this, we need to think on what other people experience on this day. Hunger, Poverty, Exile... whether buy their own making or the making of others. For me seeing the faces of small children, opening a present, dinking a glass of cold milk and taking a bite out of santa's cookies, is a picture to remember. What a difference it would make to just give a little in this festive season, whether it be your own family or to people you don't even know. Give a friendly smile, Show compassion to that old lady struggling to walk on her own, give a flower to your loving mother, just to say thanks, and then praise the Lord for all the good, great, and forgiving, you have received in this year.
Hope you all have a Blessed Christmas this Year....2006
