Too Busy

 Are you too busy with Christmas for Christmas?  Are you too involved with buying gifts for the people around you to really think about the real meaning of the season?   We are supposed to be celebrating the time when love came and was born as a baby,  to show us what love really is.  We still have not gotten the message.   We are celebrating the birth of a man named Jesus. 

Now I realize that we don't know the actual date of Jesus ‘birth.   The day most likely was chosen to lure pagans into the church and because the people then had no idea when Jesus born either.   They were eager, perhaps too eager to grow the church because they believed what they had been taught about a man named Jesus,  who most of them had never met.  And they thought it celebration of the birth was needed,  given what the other religions of the time taught  about who God is or who the gods were at the time. 

So,  are you prepared for the celebration,  or have you been too busy getting all those things that family and friends have asked for?  And have you been too busy looking for the best present at the best price?   Come with me and see how much better Christmas can be when you celebrate that one special birth.
