Iwould like to
share some
thoughts of my
own on this wonderful
season of the year. It
seems like it was only yes-
terday, that we were sing-
ing Christmas songs. My
thoughts go back to the
time when I was a boy
and how different it was
back then.
We were very poor peo-
ple to say the least, in fact
"we were so poor we
couldn't even pay atten-
tion" but we had love,
which is something
money can't buy.
You see my Dad died
when I was nine and
mother was left with two
children to feed and cloth
e. The only assistance
Mom got was $50 a
month and a $12 family
allowance.
Ladies it would be a
challenge to do t hat to
day. My Mom was the
greatest Christian lady I
ever knew. She to ld us t
he Christmas story, how
Jesus came into the world
as a tiny baby by a mirac-
ulous birth without an
earthly Father, born of a
young virgin probably
around 15 years old.
She explained that he
came to share t he won-
derful gospel message
and ultimately t o die on a
cross for our sins.
Again as I reflect on
Christmas back then, I
remember how happy we
were to get a small toy
and some candy and
apples for Christmas. Can
you imagine that in this
day and age, today if kids
don't get the latest
clothes and the latest
iPhone they are insulted.
The season has become
so commercialized and it
seems to be all about
greed. Many people stock
up on alcohol spending
far beyond their means.
Most of us sit down to a
turkey and all the trim-
mings plus all kinds of
pastry and can hardly
waddle away from the
table. Many will never
think to thank God for
their provisions and how
He provides for us.
This world in which we
live is getting to be as it
was in the days of Noah, it
is not politically correct to
say Merry Christmas any-
more. We might offend
someone! Whose Birth-
day is it that we are cele-
brating? It is supposed to
be that of the Christ child,
t he Messiah, the Saviour
of the world. Tell every-
one who wishes you a
happy holidays, it is
"Merry Christmas, or
have a Blessed Christ-
mas". We need to realize
this same Jesus is coming
back soon. What will you
do then? Please put
Christ back into Christ-
mas. Without His birth
you would not be
celebrating. I wish to
everyone who reads this
article a Blessed Christ-
mas and may you realize
who the guest of honour
is at your house t his year.
Remember if you can
help someone in need
you will be truly blessed.
If you have not already
committed your life to the
Christ child it would be
the very best gift you
could give Him this year.
Wishing each and eve-
ryone a Merry Christmas
and a Blessed New Year.
Pastor Wally and Linda
