Just as the fireworks are happening down the road from where I am at the moment due to carols by candelight I can say that the whole world is gearing up for Christmas whether it may be a white cold snowfilled one or a sunny hot beachy one :-)
What does it all mean? Christmas? Celebrating Christ? Buying Gifts? Putting up a tree and decorations?
I believe in God with all that I am therefore no one knows for sure when Jesus was born so why December 25th? It is believed that the jewish calender is not like our western culture calender and therefore it would be a better guess to pick March or April as the day to celebrate Christ's birth. But then we have Easter so that wouldn't work right?
Gifts are objects that we give one another to say "hey, thinking of you, love you, you are the object of my affection...." whether its Christmas, Valentines, Easter, Birthdays any excuse really right girls??!!
A tree at christmas and or decorations: I suggest you read Jeremiah yes the book in the Bible around about the middle section of the HOLY BIBLE. You will read enough to know the meaning behind the tree and decoration up to you if you're keen...
Perhaps it is a time to reflect upon the last days of 2010 learn from one's mistakes, share a meal or drinks with those you are close too, shower children with gifts handmade, store bought, less expensive, more expensive depending on your budget.
For me I want to make a difference in my world at the moment it's in Melbourne VIC be a young adult who loves like I've never been hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Dance like no one is watching and LIVE for the glory and honour of my GOD.
So...GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST,AND ON EARTH PEACE TO MEN ON WHOM HIS FAVOR RESTS. LUKE 2:14...
May God bless you and your love ones this festive season.
