Bah Humbug!

Christmas! I don’t like the shopping or fighting for parking spaces. I don’t like dealing with all the crowds…not to mention finding and buying some meaningless gift for whomever. And now they are trying to take Christ out of Christmas. Bah Humbug! I feel just like Mr. Scrooge.

Perhaps I need to concentrate on the fact that there is a little Christ in everyone and think more about giving a gift to that Christ hidden inside. Think more about the giving, not the receiving.

I just don’t get into “it” until it’s too late…Christmas Eve. Then I get the warm fuzzies and want to give everybody something, but it’s too late. I need a better plan.

Well! Merry Christmas Everybody! Sorry about the gifts; all the stores were closed.

I pray:
That God blesses you as He has blessed me.
That all your needs are given to you.
That love and peace fill your life.
and
Dear Lord Jesus, please let all my gifts, whether given or received, be in the true spirit of Christmas.

Amen
