I had not planned to write an entry today. I was busy staying busy as I try to be to keep from thinking too much about the upcoming holiday. The Christmas that the world has created puts so much pressure on us to be "Merry" (in its definition) that we can lose the joy of the Real Christmas Story. When we focus on the presents, the football games, the trees, the parties and even the birth of Jesus, we can miss the real Christmas story...the story that should put joy into Christmas for anyone.
Because of the Real Christmas Story I can have joy this Christmas. I may not be "Merry", but I can still be joyful over what this time of year really means. You see, because of "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey used to say, I am assured of someday being reunited with Bonnie and all believers.
Would you please take just four minutes to view the attached video? I received it on Facebook from my friend Jamie Statema of "GO FISH". Thank you Jamie for sharing it with me.
Before you open your presents, before you even go to the candle light service at your church, please watch this video. (Just click on the link below. It should redirect you to the video.) I believe it will help you to understand and capture the true joy that Christmas should bring.....
