Christmas

Granny here, 

Does anyone out there really care what the reason for the season is anymore? You know when I watch those man on the street segments on the news where they go into the streets and ask people questions and you hear their answers one can't help but wonder where have you had your head all this time? People don't know anything anymore. They don't know who the president is, the vice president, Nelson Mandela or anyone else in the world of politics, world affairs etc. But ask them about Microsoft, Apple or the last hand held games that came out or the newest electronics and they will be able to answer every question. 

Sad isn't it that our world has come to this. Social skills have gone down the peverbial drain and no one under thirty wants their time infringed upon. So does anyone even want to know the real reason for the season? 

Well, I'm going to tell you whether you want to know or not! JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON and anyone who thinks you can celebrate CHRISTMAS without Him has another think coming. Without JESUS it would just be a day where someone gave you a gift so it would be no more than YOUR birthday but wait it's HIS birthday (not the actual date) but the celebration. It is because HE was born, He was given gifts that we celebrate in like manner of gift giving. The Spirit of Christmas is a wonderful thing when one takes time to consider that this is the one time of the year that everyone is thinking of someone else, what they would like? What is a good gift for them? 

So it truly is the most wonderful time of the year. But when you have JESUS all year round every day is wonderful. Everyday is grand because He is with you! But when JESUS is put on the shelf and only brought out one a time a year it can be a lonely year indeed! Isn't it wonderful that JESUS is so big that He fills the universe yet He is so small that He can live in the heart of man! Now who else can lay claim to such statistics. No one , there is no one like Him. So when you celebrate this year give credit where credit is due, without JESUS it would just be another day! 

Granny here, just saying!
