Still soundly saved, but very busy. I am hoping to write more often. Times passes quickly. As I type this the world prepares to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I am on the phone a lot for work and I have been encouraged by the many people who wish me a Merry Christmas. In the politically correct world in which we live, the standard has been to simply wish people a Happy Holiday. However, many of my clients tell me that they want to honor Jesus and proudly wish everyone Merry Christmas. I applaud those who want to honor Jesus. However, I have wondered about the motives of a few of these people when they go on a diatribe about how they refuse to say, "Happy Holidays." Their motives seem more political than honorable.
Don't get me wrong. I love wishing others a Merry Christmas. However, I think we honor Jesus more through our lives, not our words. It is my desire to talk less and let my life be an example of Jesus. For too long I have told others what I believe, but now I will let others see what I believe through being more involved with helping those who are less fortunate than me, being present with my friends and family (which means less time on my tablet), praying for and with others and any other way God guides me.
This all being said, I do wish everyone a "Merry Christmas." However, I hope that my life will always show you that I ALWAYS celebrate Jesus' birth, death and resurrection. Jesus is the "reason for the season," but of more importance Jesus is the reason I have hope and life eternal. God bless us, everyone.
