2010 Christmas Helps: 3 Days Until Christmas

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.

3 Days Until Christmas

Monday was the last mall trip I will take this Christmas Season ... I think. I really enjoyed talking with people, visiting with sales clerks and picking up three last minute gifts.

Gifts are a weird thing with me. I really don't care to give a gift that means little to nothing ... one out of "obligation." I understand that it has become part of the tradition of Christmas, but when I give a gift, I really want it to be meaningful ... don't you?

God gave a Gift ... He became flesh ... He lived ... He Died ... He Rose Again. All part of the Gift. This Gift was indescribably costly. It cost Jesus His life. But the benefits for all of humanity are unimaginable. Life - Abundant here on earth and eternal with Him.

What an incredible Gift. What incredible Love.
