my life in words

Well, once again we are at the time of year that is filled with candy canes, egg nog,

stockings, decorations, trees, presents, cookies, carols, Christmas movies, parties,

shopping, ornaments, Christmas cards, fruit cakes, family gatherings.....well, you get the idea.



The sad thing is, if you took all of these things and threw them in a sack,

then throw in some stress, horrible overspending, credit card debt, anxiety,

depression......well, you get the idea.  You would have what most people call "Christmas."



We have complicated this time of year and turned it into something ugly. 

We have made it into a money spending frenzy instead of acknowledging

what we should be Celebrating. 



The whole "Reason for the Season" is because

of a very special birth and a very special death.



The "Reason for the Season" is because

Jesus went from a Manger to a Cross.



My Prayer for you and your family is

a Peace-Filled Christmas and

a Joy-Filled New Year.   ~tf
