CHRISTMAS IS CELEBRATION!
Ah, Christmas - what a Celebration! And do you know what celebration is? It is an instinct of heart! Christmas with red ribbons galore, aroma of fresh pine, gifts from heart, feasting together in merriment with music abounding and so list goes on.
Stop and think with me a moment - think about all centuries that we have celebrated Christmas even with threatening circumstances around world and in face of adversity!
Christmas has been celebrated since that cry came ringing down through ages, "Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in City of David a aviour, which is Christ Lord."
Traditions sweetly cluster around this season of celebration with ignificance of heart's intentions - yearning of our spirit to express hope, faith and love.
Take away this "intention" and gift is BARE. It becomes just a touch of tinsel and a time with no meaning.
Faith, hope and love cannot be bought or sold but only given away. These are wellsprings deep of Christmas celebration.
These gifts have no price tags. The ornaments cannot be imitated but are a unique discovery within one's self.
These special and wonderful gifts are not always easy to come by yet are unlimited in supply and within reach of all of us!
This Christmas change your "shopping list"! Have a look at this list and see if there is anything here that will fill your heart with celebration and touch your very soul - not just for Christmas but all year 'round!
