Christmas 24/7

It is sad, there are only a few weeks out of the year that we all treat others with kindness and compassion. There is that "Spirit" during the Christmas Holiday that enters the minds and hearts of children and adult alike.

Never forget the story about Christmas in "no mans land" in World War one even in Part two where enemies stopped shooting at one another and joined together in "Silent Night."  This season can bring the worse out of people (can you say Tickle me Elmo doll).  It is famous for softening the heart and and the transformation of Scrooges everywhere.

The birthday of Jesus actually shows us that this spirit and attitude could/should carry through, all year long. God gave us a gift .."For God so loved the world that He gave..."  This Christ child in the manger came to live and die for the sins of the world.  "God demonstrated His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." For the believer and follower of Jesus Christ,  every day is Easter and Christmas 24/7!!

We've heard of Christmas in July.  Don't let the light the season brings, flicker out. let's celebrate it all year long.  Maybe a church group, even an office at work can wrap and give someone gifts throughout the year. (E mail me in August and wish me a Merry Christmas). Most of all, we can share the good news of Jesus being born to die sacrificially for our sins and that those who believe will not perish but have everlasting life!  Love God. Love Others.

"Come let us adore Him"

 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST AND PEACE ON EARTH !

So, This is Christmas?

There seems to be something missing this Christmas.  Oh the stockings are hung with care and cookies are being made for Santa.  There is this disappointing numb emotion that creates in many,  a zombie like feeling this year.

The magic has dissipated into a soon evaporated mist.  Selfishness is under the tree as well a judging eye for an eye, you must apologize to me, vote for me and I'll set you free!  Holier than thou, criminals shouting they are the victims.  Parents want A's for Jr's failing indifferent efforts.  Not only is it black vs. white but also white against white,  black on black.  It is all in color on the flat screen t.v. she beat someone up for on Black Friday!

One segment out of touch, while another is out of reach.  Evil is called good and good evil.  Everyone is quoting the Good Book without knowing the author.  Some sing the anthem as their neighbors are burning the flag.  Masses curse the country while refugees insist on being here.

Not as many battles for Cabbage patch dolls or Tickle me Elmo.  Instead there is a choking polluting cancer called mistrust and hatred.  It would be a Wonderful Life but Potter is selling and we're buying. and we will all soon be in the emotional slums of Pottersville. USA.

That's why true Christmas is only found in Christ.   God sending His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life spent with God.

 Hallelu jah! Hallelu jah!

Spiritual Combat

The battle rages
devil stages war
ambushed your trail
efforts fail
self help loses
pleasure cruises
battleship tosses
count the losses
Call in the  big gun
 sin you shun
in the foxhole you pray
Holy Spirit power
comes your way
Love and power within
Christ has got the win.
