For those who may be new to this short journey to Christmas, let's review. For the last several years, I have been looking for a way to keep the true meaning of the Christmas Season from being forced out by the busyness and commercialization of this Season.
So this year I devised a plan. Each day I would scour the earth ... ok ... YouTube, Vimeo, GodTube and/or Facebook ... for a video that would remind me of what Christmas was all about. The challenge was to keep my eyes off of ME and focus them on Christ and others.
Along with the videos, I thought I might write out and action plan for the day. A thought or two to carry with me - a word or two to share - or something I would do that day as part of the project.
So far - I think it has helped. There are still 10 days till Christmas, but to this point, I have noticed my focus more where it should be and less on me ... and that is a good thing.
Today's video is just a reminder about how the Christmas Season should be. Take a few moments and watch!
The point? (There are Four)
Worship More - By the way ... what do you Worship? Just askin ...
Give More - Not Stuff ... but you. Give You to others.
Love More - Even those that are the most difficult to love.
Trust God More - after all ... can you think of anything more trustworthy?
ACTION PLAN!!!
Spend a few moments with God today asking Him to help me not to get caught up in the increasing hectic pace of this season. Give More - I am going to get some peppermint candies and give them to the sales people as I do my shopping. (Online shopping .... hummm)
Make a great Christmas!!
