The Journey

For the last several years, I have been looking for a way to keep the true meaning of the Christmas Sesaon from being forced out by the busyness and commercialization of this Season.

My plan this year is to find a video that focuses in on an aspect of Christmas of which I need to be reminded. After the video, I wanted to write a thought or two and a plan of action for the day.

So I invite you on this journey with me. I am going to try and do this each day during the week - hopefully I will be able to keep this pace.

10 Days Till Christmas!!!!

One Last Christmas

Good Morning! It is Tuesday, December 14th. There are 11 days until we celebrate the birth of the King of all kings and Lord or all lords.


A little background on the video I chose today. Last spring, I went as a sponsor with the LaPorte High School Orchestra to Memphis Tennessee. While there, they had the privilege to play at St. Jude's Hospital. It was an awesome experience.


Which brings me to this video. Very seldom to you know when it will be "Your Last Christmas." This little boy did - and his family and community surrounded him with love.



Let me ask you a question: What if you knew this would be your last Christmas? Would you be more interested in people or presents? Would there be relationships you would try and mend? Would there be words of forgiveness you would offer ... or maybe accept? Perhaps it might be good to stop for a moment and think about these things. It may help you understand what really matters .... what really is important.


Maybe that relationship isn't with someone else. Maybe the relationship you need to concentrate on is the relationship with the One in the Manger. Talk to Him - He is listening.

What great gifts to give ... the gift of a mended relationship; the gift of forgiveness; the gift of life. Isn't that was Christmas is all about?
