Celebrate Christmas
Enjoying the Spirit of the Season as I go about my normal December routine, makes me sometimes wonder if ....the world has gone loco, crazy, insane.....bonkers.
I'm seeing people who are afraid....to express happiness and joy at the celebration of the fullness of life because of Jesus Birthday...
Then there are some people who are genuinely desperate for a kind word, a human touch a confirmation that.....they are alive.
My daughter, Lynn, met such a desperate woman yesterday....people were rushing by, pushing the 'needy' woman out of the way and Lynn stopped, put her hand on the woman's shoulder and listened to her need, her hurt, her cry for validation as a human being in a world gone mad....Lynn gave her a small sum of money, a bottle of water and put her arms around her in a public place and prayed over her life to be blessed by God Himself, personally.... The woman's reply. "Pretty lady, you make me think positive about my life....
Thank you for stopping and blessing me..."
Don't you see? That is the Celebration of Christmas....
That is when you hear in your heart the words of old....
...."I bring to you tidings of GREAT JOY"....and our hearts burst out in happiness as we proclaim " ...JOY TO THE WORLD".....
God, Himself, thinks we have great worth....Jesus birth is proof of that....
That is the simple message of Love and Christmas...and that is the
real present Lynn gave to a desperate woman in need....a woman who could have spent her last day on earth yesterday were it not for someone who stopped, touched her life and said....." God loves you and you are valuable in His sight".
God bless you, dear Lynn, for being 'prayed up' so at a moments notice God could use you to deliver a precious gift of 'life and love' to one of his children in need.
As the angel told the shepherds, "Fear Not! I bring you tidings of Great Joy!"
Let's Celebrate.....it is time for Christmas Joy!
