SO MANY THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT CHRISTMAS
While the warmth of the hearth is a haven to some, others gleefully frolic in the frozen white.
Christmas trees are found in sufficient variety to satisfy everyone’s vision of ‘just right’.
Those with gourmet palates and those with simpler taste are filled with feast and sufficient faire.
Joy in the fulfilled eyes quickens the heart of the thoughtful provider.
An oak’s lost seeds bring life to the creatures housed in its limbs.
Grandfather shares the memories of Christmas past.
Dreams of Christmas day, soon to come, fill the thoughts of grandchildren.
All desire to be home, but for many distance and added generations makes it impossible.
Those who are alone are often comforted and warmed by a source seldom understood.
Rich colors abound in never ending combinations and brighten the lives of artisans and artists.
Gaily wrapped packages so lovingly done, bring gladness and squeals as they are hastily rent.
Concert halls are filled with souls being cheered by familiar and newly discovered strains.
Chapels are crowed with beaming parents as the musical sounds of children fill their hearts.
How wondrous and great are the scenes of this special season. There are enough and more to fill the needs and desire of every life.
Hopefully we will never forget – He who has provided this variety, goodness and abundance of life:
For … He was born to bring purpose to life
He lived to be an exemplar of the way
He died that all might live
We truly love and appreciate you our Lord, our Savior, and our King.
