KEEPING CHRISTMAS

KEEPING CHRISTMAS.....

The whole world keeps Christmas... but many keep it wrongly. We commercialize Christmas with shopping parcels cards ... There is good about it - outflowing generosity in one day in the year. 

 

Some sentimentalize it - in truth or on pretence. Yet ..we're happy that Christmas is kept. But the greatest tragedy is so pathetic beyond words - celebrating Christmas but without Christ.

Christmas is God's Greatest Gift to All Mankind. God enters human life. God became Man in Christ.

God is now one with Man (John 1:14-18)

All around us ... are discouraged people. Some are Disappointed. Some are Lonely.. Some others are Hurt. Many others are Heart broken - living starved lives receiving little or no love at all.

Opportunities for love and kindness are everywhere. We do not see because we are blind to them or we do not care. No single day passes me by ... without a simple act of love or kindness..I dare...care...

One simple kind act is far better than hundreds of bowed heads in prayer - devoid of any kind act.

If we can keep Christmas for one day in the year - why not keep it for every day the whole year through.

Jesus was born at a stable. His Incoming makes the Difference between a Darkened Inn and a  Glorified Stable.

Think.
