It won't be long. Just a couple more days. And......you will be gone. Along with 2018. You have been good. You are always good. You are always special. I know: you are just a month. The twelfth one of every year. The last one of every year. But what a month. What a cheerful month you are. And yes, sad for some. How ironic. I once heard a convict who was being interviewed for a documentary about prison life in the state facility where he was serving his time......a long time. He spoke from the heart. He declared: "I miss the Decembers. I miss the Christmases." It is interesting to note that he didn't say: "I miss Christmas." I perceive that he was trying to get the most of his memories. He remembered different Christmases. He distinguished them. He had the time to do it. December, a time for friends, family, food, parties, fun, celebrations, laughter, Christmas carols, cards, desserts and much, much more. Yes, a great deal of money changes hands this month. Lots and lots of shopping. Many, many presents, and much activity in the streets and retail businesses. This holiday is an influencer. This holiday is powerful. It will continue to be so. Why? Because it is the recognition, remembrance, celebration, and honoring of the birth of the Messiah. The King of kings, Lord of lords, Son of God, Savior, Emmanuel. (God with us). It is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. He is the visible image of the invisible God. Yes, December will continue to be special.............as long as the birth of Jesus is celebrated.
I have an idea: *CELEBRATE JESUS EVERY DAY. Celebrate His birthday in December.
*Why? Because He is God.
