It’s coming…….
I have to admit something, I’m a big kid when it comes to Christmas! love Christmas movies, Christmas decorations, the way people smile and wave, and wish each other well! (I live in Kentucky, we actually do those things here!) I know they do that other places too, but in some places people are in a big hurry and don ‘t take the time! So let me offer a suggestion or two on how to make this a great Chrismtas!
* Find someone everyday to embrace and wish them and their family a very, Merry Chrismtas!
* Take part in a service at your church that reaches out to others, a toy drive, a Christmas dinner, or the delivery, or assembling of Christmas baskets, it will raise your spirits!
* Spend some alone time in the word reading the Christmas story, and watch a good film that depicts the story of Christmas, and the birth of Christ.
* Find a good version of Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. (I like the 1957 version starring Alstair Simm as Scrooge!) If you take it to heart, it is a life changing message!
* Gathering your children or grandchildren around the tree and read them “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, and watch their eyes sparkle!
* Give your spouse a personal gift, and take the time to thank him or her for loving you, for another year.
* Celebrate the greatest gift of all, the birth of our Savior, Jesus!
Blessings,
the pilgrim

I feel the same way about Christmas as you do, Bill. One thing that’s on my “Bucket List” that I would like to do is spend a Christmas in one of the northern states with lots of snow and experience Christmas with family in a Hallmark snowy manner. We don’t see many snowy Christmas days in Alabama. By the way, also on the list is to meet you as we both live by life values that seem to be scarce these days. Keep up the great work!! You are a role model even to this 64 year old.
Let’s make the King of Kings both of our a role models!!! That’s an honor, but too big of a burden for any mortal man to carry!
