Christmas...

Celebrating the birth Jesus Christ seems to be the farthest from so many people's minds these days.
This is a big deal... JESUS CHRIST... SAVIOR OF THE WORLD... GREAT REDEEMER... I AM!!!
If Jesus had not been born more than 2000 years ago we would all be DEAD! Just think, we celebrate our own birthdays and what do we do... NOTHING. But there are STUPID show's on tv all about bratty 16 year olds celebrating their birthdays... and we have an entire time-frame holiday devoted to Jesus Christ... but no one takes the time anymore to celebrate Him! We celebrate ourselves with presents and goodies and stupid things. where has the giving gone? where has the love gone? Where is the true meaning of Christmas??! It's so frustrating, probably mostly because I do it too, and I HATE it. I really just want to praise Him through this time and not think of myself, or the gifts im giving or getting. I am working on it, but as that day approaches it get's harder and harder. I know that God is pushing me to remember Him this time of year. I will, I'm starting to concentrate on Him and the gift of LIFE.... not the gift of Wii that cannot save me from Hell... :)
