While Christmas is still three weeks away, there is no doubt that it is heavily on our minds. I LOVE CHRISTMAS! It's the time of year that everyone is harried and stressed and worried and irritable, when dysfunction becomes front and center. Yeah, it's a great time!
I see people fret about what they are going to buy, how much they are going to spend, how disappointed they are that they don't have enough to spend. Everyone seems to get so wrapped up in the commercial part of Christmas that they forget what CHRISTmas is really about.
Today's word is, "The Magic of CHRISTMAS is not in the presents, but in His presence."
The Magic of Christmas isn't in what you get or what you give. The Magic of CHRISTMAS is found in what has been given - JESUS CHRIST. When we focus on the true Present of the Savior's birth, we will really begin to feel the Magic of Christmas.
Let me say without any reservation - I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I LOVE the giving of gifts. I like receiving gifts. I LOVE watching the kids with their gifts. I LOVE the lights! I LOVE the trees! I LOVE the music. I LOVE CHRISTMAS! Let's focus more on being in the presence of the Savior and less on the presents. If we will all commit to that, I think we will all find that we LOVE CHRISTMAS!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
