Christmas is Celebration
by Jan McCracken
Ahhh Christmas - what a Celebration! And do you know what
celebration is? It is an instinct of the heart!
Christmas with red ribbons galore, the aroma of fresh pine,
heartfelt gifts, feasting together in merriment with music
abounding and so the list goes on.
Stop and think with me a moment - think about all the centuries
that we have celebrated Christmas even with threatening
circumstances around the world! Christmas has been celebrated
since that cry came ringing down the ages, "Fear not, for behold I
bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a
Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
Traditions sweetly cluster around this season of celebration with
the significance of the heart's intentions - the yearning of our
spirit to express hope, faith and love.
Take away this "intention" and the gift is BARE. It becomes
just a touch of tinsel and a time with no meaning.
Faith, hope and love cannot be bought or sold but only given
away. These are the wellsprings deep of Christmas celebration.
These gifts have no price tags. The ornaments cannot be imitated
but are a unique discovery within one's self.
These special and wonderful gifts are not always easy to come by
yet are unlimited in supply and within the reach of all of us!
This Christmas change your "shopping list"! Have a look at this
list and see if there is anything here that will fill your heart
with celebration and touch your very soul - not just for
Christmas but all the year thru!
You have heard these all before and this list is so small. Make
your own list or ADD to this one.
CHRISTMAS is a Celebration - a celebration with a stirring of the
heart that extends towards the very core of life itself!
This Christmas, let's try to grasp an inkling of the
significance of that very first Christmas that changed the world
forever!
I wish you faith, hope and love this Christmas and always. May
your Christmas Celebration be within your heart.
Merry Christmas, Jan McCracken
