Well It's That Time Again....

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!
The silly season for many people. I hear it all the time, spend; spend; spend! All I want to ask them is WHY??
They buy food that is enough to feed the armed troops in Iraq for a family of 4. Best part of it is wasted. Spend silly money on gifts to give to people, they rarely see or barely know. Or simply for kids who get what they want all year round. It all boils down to a concept of "Well everyone does it.... cause it's Christmas."
Do you eat sprouts only at Christmas? Why.. well it's tradition got to have them with Christmas dinner, BUT I don't like them!! WELL.... don't buy them, it's that simple.
People will sing songs that they don't know (ie Carols) go to a carol service, probably enjoy it, but never to return. WHY? cause it's CHRISTMAS.
Decorate their houses inside and out...I've seen some really tacky stuff driving around. WHY? cause It's CHRISTMAS
One of the top Christmas songs for over 20 years is Wizard's "I wish it could be Christmas every day". Well guess what it can be.
When a person becomes a Christian ( a Christ one!) Gives their lives over to let Jesus be Lord and Saviour of their life, it can be Christmas everyday.
Jesus is always ready to give his followers gifts, anytime not just on Dec 25th. Because he loves to give good gifts to those who He loves.
The feeling Peace to all men can be and is there to those who love God and are called to follow Him.
I want to offer the best gift of all to all who read this JOHN 3:16 GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE..... HIS ONLY SON!!
So that is my offer to you His gift JESUS. WHY?...cause IT'S CHRISTMAS !
