Keeping Christ In Christmas

jesus_birthI find it difficult to hold on to the “true meaning” of Christmas. Christ’s appearance on the earth, after all, (Immanuel/God is with us – Isaiah 9 and 12) set into motion things planned before the world was birthed. It is a miscalculation to relegate God’s Son Jesus to the role as founder of a 2,000 year old religion.

Here are a few thing which help me to stay focused on what is important regarding the Coming of His Holy One:

#1  When I give gifts, I try to be careful to give them in love and in Jesus Name – not out of obligation.

#2  I focus on the essence of the one receiving my gifts, and pray for their journey of faith.

#3  I read the “Christmas Story” in Luke 1 and 2, and when I have time I read Isaiah the prophet. He talked specifically about Jesus 500-600 years before He came to earth.

Most of all, I try to reflect upon the richness of my connection with God, pray for my family and friends, and count the many ways I have been blessed by my Savior.

When the kids were small I wrote a song about Christmas. One of the verses went something like this:

“Looked into my bank account today, all I have just melts away. Seems like life can be so cruel and mean. Seems like all we ever spent – goes for food and bills and rent – Just another Christmas, Just another Christmas. Just another Christmas in my life. 

“Put up the Christmas tree – given by good friends you see. Children are so happy – it’s so beautiful. As we crown it with a star – reminds us of who we are. And the time God came so far to men.

“Put the Christ in Christmas – remember God is with us. Put the Christ of Christmas in your life.”

God is with us, my friend! Hallelujah!

Top 10 Things to Keep In Mind This Christmas Season

Here are a few insights which have helped me to maximize the Christmas season:

#1 – Too many sweets make you fat.

#2 – You must be very careful which egg nog you choose to drink.

#3 – It is more demanding to give of yourself than to just shell out for gifts.

#4 – Friends and loved ones appreciate personal, thoughtful gifts… which are often very inexpensive.

#5 – Sacrificial giving is God’s way – He has led by His example.

#6 – You cannot out-give God.

#7 – Jesus, God’s Son, is God’s gift to your world.

#8 – Giving to someone who does not have the resources to give you something back is good for your soul.

#9 – The best gifts are sentimental and personal – and should contain words of life.

#10 – Too many holiday sweets make you fat.

Enjoy your Christmas!
-Dave
