When my to-do list screams, "not done," I come away and remember:
It's His birthday.
When I'm bombarded with the glitz and clever merchandising of retailers, I come away and remember:
It's His birthday.
The once tiny hands, now nail scarred, beckon me to remember:
Come celebrate. It's My birthday.
How do you celebrate His birth?
Susan, this should be on a billboard. Thanks for the reminder to make Jesus the reason for the season.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda -
ReplyDeleteThanks. When I thought about all the posts I could write for today, I couldn't get away from this theme.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Powerful post Susan. Keeping Christ in Christmas, as they say, is so important to the season. I'll be thinking about how to do this better today!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to say it Susan, but I cannot celebrate it the American way, it is painful to see what it has become...
ReplyDeleteWe probably go for a walk, have dinner at a friend's house and that's it.
Merry Christmas Susan to you and your family!
This gave me goosebumps. Wait, I mean God bumps! Thanks for the reminder to celebrate Jesus.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn - May you have a blessed Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Marja - Remembering His birth and spending time with loved ones is a great way to celebrate.
Hi Jen - I didn't know what I was going to post until Saturday night. Few words are often more effective than a long sermon.
Blessings,
Susan :)
The best Christmas I ever had was one where I sang some beautiful songs at a midnight service, then came home and sipped hot chocolate with my family. The focus that evening was totally on the wonder and beauty of Christ's birth. I'd just turned 18. I'll never forget that Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh, Dena, that sounds wonderful! I hope you have many more like that special Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Susan :)
