With Christmas coming up so fast. With all the people trying to get last minute gifts, life is crazy. All the memories. Some awesome like drinking egg nog around the fire with you and your closest friends and family. Hanging ornaments on a tree, going on a hay ride and looking at beautiful lights. These are absolutely great memories. But look at the other side of the spectrum. Christmas isnt great at all for some. Something like looking at that empty chair where a loved one once sat. It takes a toll on Christmas for them. I know some people that want nothing to do with Christmas since losing their loved one. What about the people out there rushing to get presents with money that they dont have for people they dont necessarily like. But since they might be at your house over the holidays, you feel obligated to get them something. Through all these examples, I see it from a different light. Some of the poorest people have a great Christmas without spending a dime. I understand that we have taken Christmas away from the true roots of what its all about. Nowadays, its about the expensive gifts, people fighting over anything on Black Friday, wrapping presents, and tinsel EVERYWHERE!! Take a second and realize the true meaning of the holiday "Christmas."
Its all about love. The joyous gift God laid upon the land. He gave us his son, Jesus (Christ Child). What a blessing. Without this piece of history, Christmas wouldnt be here. God love His creation SO MUCH, he provided a way to eternity. He gave us a huge blessing, named Jesus Christ, to take the punishment of our sins. What an amazing Father.
Thats my outlook on it all. Take it or leave it. Leave a Comment, and if you like it, share it with others.
