"A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS"

Luke 2: 14 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.


Well it that time of year when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know some do not celebrate his birthday, but I do. Not the way the world does, but for now people still remember his birth. It amazes me how some can try to have his birthday party with out even saying His name. It should be as one old song says “ IT NOT JUST A HOLIDAY, BUT IT SHOULD BE A HOLY DAY. DON’T TAKE CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTMAS “! I want to share a special Christmas memory with you this month. If you have never heard my testimony mine younger life was not to good. Having ran away from home at 15 yrs, then turning 16 got a job in a cotton mill. Myself and some people had rented a mobile home, but them not wanting to work they moved out leaving me alone at 16, trying to take care of myself and keep a roof over my head which is a pretty big task for a 16 yrs old boy, no one that young should have to do it. My sweet precious Aunt Shirley and her mom came by and said get your stuff together, your going to live with us. Her and her husband and two boys took me in like I was one of them. I had been in the drug seen and they may have saved my life. I know now that the hand of God was on my life. Later in life she would win my wife and myself to God. Well that Christmas money was tight for them. They had helped me get my driver licenses and a car. I wanted a tape player for my car (an 8 track), it been a long time ago. Well they bought me that 8 track and my uncle worked a good part of Christmas Eve night putting it in my car. I am crying as I write this, I don’t know if I ever really let them know what that Christmas meant to me. It was one of the best I have ever had, till I had children and shared the joy of Christmas with them. I didn’t know for some time, that they where not even able to get themselves anything for Christmas. As an adult man, I still remember that morning as I said earlier with tears in my eyes. I hope and pray that I have play a part in giving my family and other some joy and memories that last a life time. Is this not the real way to celebrate Christmas, by blessing someone? Not by how much or by how little, nor the paper or the bow it comes in, but by the amount of love that come with it! By the way my Uncle and Aunt have both gone home to be with the Lord, but still hold a special place in my heart. Please remember that JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! May you and your family have much love and happiest till next year.
