JUST A THOUGHT AS CHRISTMAS APPROACHES
I was watching TV and came across yet ANOTHER commercial for Walmart trying to "sell" us Christmas! Yes, I said "sell " us Christmas! The add stated that "Christmas costs less at Walmart" What??? Christmas costs something?? I could not calculate the idea!
People, We are not charged anything to have Christmas! It is FREE! It will come even if we don't spend a dime, have any gifts, a tree, a turkey, ham, pie, bows, ribbons, paper, ornaments, lights, giant inflatable things in our yards, candy canes, stockings, or any of the things we stress out to spend Gods money on!
I started thinking I can't believe that Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch stole Christmas is even on the air because it says exactly this!
THEN I remembered the end of the show. The Grinch gave it all back! OK, so you say "SO" well, I'm sure a big sigh of relief came upon all kids watching as to say "that was close, but they got the stuff back yeah!!!! and they still sit down to enjoy it all!
Think about it! Why couldn't the Grinch keep the stuff or something?
Anyway, I just wanted to say PLEASE REMEMBER Christmas cost's NOTHING @ God's house.
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON and speaking of God's money, Please remember this is the time for Lottie Moon Offering! Please give back a little of what is God's money anyway and help send out missionaries to the ends of the earth. Give to help those who have accepted the call to GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES. Thank you Pastor Greg and the entire Byrd Family for showing me the true meaning of giving. It is not to spoil our children with more junk, it is to support those in need of the one thing the store can not stock on the shelf and that is SALVATION through Jesus Christ.
