Yes, it is the Holiday season, because Christmas is in the Air. Everybody getting ready for something new, children looking forward for presents and Santa is busy making the list.
As a Child I really enjoyed Christmas times, every Christmas Santa would come and visit us. Back Then I could remember that every time Santa visits each year, his appearance also changes. Sometimes he was very fair and with this very white beard and plump as well. However there were times when Santa would look little thin maybe little bit off color. However that did not bother me for a second, I just wanted him to talk to him and tell what kind of present I was waiting for.
However as I grew little bit older, I could remember our Church Pastor preaching about the meaning of Christmas, It wasn't Santa.
It was the birth of Christ (Jesus) who was born to this earth as our savoir Lord. I still remember that he emphasized about the fancy things and gifts people look forward to forgetting the true meaning of Christmas. Yes I agree it is a time to celebrate but how do we really celebrate Christmas.
As I write, I remember a Testimony one day our Sunday school Teacher shared with us. She said that on a Christmas day, they didn't have anything to celebrate even food on the table was not there, however She said that as a family they started to thank God for everything He has blessed with (Count your Blessings). I still remember when she said this she was almost in tears, that night the door bell rang and for their surprise one of the friends have sent them a basket full of goodies. As family they were overwhelmed. Good is Good All the Time, All The Time God is Good!
Nowadays we see that the abbreviation for Christmas has been changed, they use X-Mas, to make it fancier or maybe they don't really know who Christ is. It’s Sad to see these kinds of things happening around us. However we definitely can make a difference, if we are able to show/resemble the true meaning of Christmas to people around us, close to us. I am pretty sure they will notice it.
So friends make a Difference this Christmas, make someone Happy, trust me, when you see the person who puts on a big smile just because you made a difference, the Joy you get is exceptional. Try IT!
As a finishing note I am leaving you guys with a song I heard over the Radio, I searched it on YouTube and it was there.
