Forgotten Christmas

It's exactly 2 days away..... until Christmas tonight!

It's a wonderful time of year, the busyness of this season makes it almost impossible for me to sit down and actually type...

Snow is falling from the sky... (at least in some part of the world) and all I can think of is I love Christmas. 

I love everything about it. 

The music, the lights, the snow(even if I hate the cold), the warmth of a good cup of coffee in my hands as I relax in front of the toasty fire, the cookies, the togetherness that Christmas brings.

I just simply love it all.

But as I sit here and consider Christmas I can't help but think of the true meaning of Christmas. In today's world we have so forgotten the true meaning of it all...

We busily prepare for our festivities and, set up the decorations, set up for and plan events every night between now and New Years with never a dull moment and in it all this we have a "Forgotten Christmas"

I apologize because that title is not original with me, but rather an inspiration from somebody else that I find very inspiring...

Inspiring... not in the fact that I want to just skip Christmas and everything with it or simply forget the real meaning of Christmas but INSPIRING in the fact that as you think about the perfect gift God gave to us you are inspired to walk closer with Jesus Christ and learn to know more and more that True Gift from God....

Quiet My Heart Lord
And show me a Christmas
As Peaceful and Calm as
An old Cattle Shed... 

Slow down my pace, Lord
And  help me seek Jesus,
The Son of Your Love,
In a humble Straw bed... 

Steady my spirit, Lord
Call me from Chaos
In Simple Surrender
To pray and rejoice... 

Breakthrough the busy,
Too-bright celebration,
And whisper Your message,
"Be still... hear my voice..."

So this Christmas even with everything else that we love to do, take time to stop and remember what the Birth of Jesus Christ really means to you.

What difference did His birth make?

More to come......
