Yep, it makes me nostalgic…
Thinking of Christmas that is.
Every year like a lot of people I think, I get this way. Thinking of Christmases past gives me several
memories and thoughts of days gone by.
I have always been guilty of thinking that other people need
to make my Christmas special and memorable. The Artist has always said I am bad
that way. ...
When the season comes, I do want it to be special. I have
ideas of what we should do, where we should go, what we should eat, and so on.
It seems that all my plans somehow never come to pass. It’s like
anything else that has quality…you have to make it happen, you have to make the
time; you are in control of what happens. If I get disappointed with the
season, I only have myself to blame.
I have found that when I focus on what God did for us in
sending his Son, my Christmas is much much better then it is when I depend on
other things to make me satisfied. If I am honest with myself, I have only started
to do this in the last few years. Oh, God has always been there, but I have not
always focused on that fact.
This Christmas I wish for all of you a true appreciation of
what it is all about. I promise that if you do that, your Christmas will have all
the meaning you need and it won't disappoint.
Have a Merry Christmas!
