It's that time of year again when we are all frantically trying to figure out what to buy each other for Christmas. We get so caught up in the gift giving that we forget about what this time of year is all about. Some of us aren't Christians or are but don't act like 'Christians' throughout the year but are more than ready to participate in the Christmas parties and all the festivities. This time of year is about celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is His voice and His life that this season is all about. NOT about the gifts. We as Christians need to get this world back to where it needs to be. We are here to serve the Lord our God and be his disciples ALL year round, not just Christmas time. We as parents, grandparents, etc, need to teach our kids why we celebrate Christmas and the true reason. It is Jesus' birthday. It's not about the presents. The most important 'gift' we could give our children is LOVE and to tell them about Jesus and the love He has for us. He is the way, the Truth and the Life. Let's remember this in Christmas' to come why we celebrate this time of year and not get caught up in the 'gift' giving. We will teach Konner and other Cheramie's to come the real reason for the season. I hope you all will help and teach your kids as well. Let us enjoy being with our families and thank God for sending his Son so our lives could be saved and have eternal life.
Oh and it's Merry CHRISTmas, NOT happy holidays!!!
