Don't Make No Sense  Sunday, December 2, 2012

​

Lots of decorations going up.  Stores are having sales.  Trees, gifts, shopping, food, parties.  It's an awesome time of the year.

​

Something confuses me though.  The ole battle over "Christmas Trees" vs "Holiday Trees", along with "Merry Christmas" vs "Happy Holidays" has already begun.  Just the other day I heard of a principal at a school taking down a nativity scene.

​

Here's my dilemma.  (Thank you spell checker for the spelling of dilemma).  If these people don't believe in the story of Jesus...WHY ARE THEY CELEBRATING?  

​

Surely they can figure out that this big halabalu (spell checker didn't help me with that one) is more than just a world wide day of gift giving.  You'd think a principal would be intelligent enough to figure out there's a bigger reason for Dec 25th than just sales at stores.  And the governor of a holiday tree state should realize there's a larger picture at work here.

​

All I know is that I can celebrate Christmas because of Christ.  He gave me a gift of forgiveness for which I am, and will be eternally grateful.  My prayer is that they will find and accept that gift as well.
