Read: Luke 2:1-38, Matthew 18:2-4
Christmas...
It's
supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year or so the songs say and for
some it truly is while for others...it's a very hard time of year for various
reasons.
Christmas for children can often be sort of a "magical" time filled with fun, awe, wonder and excitement. If you're an adult reading this right now, you may remember those times of life and maybe you've lost that sense of childlike faith, awe and wonder?
The truth is that kids don't tend to over-complicate things like adults do sometimes.
They
don't run everything through "adult filters" whereas we've let many things cloud our vision when it comes to celebrating
things such as celebrating the birth of our Savior. Even knowing the truth regarding the true meaning of Christmas from God's Word, we can allow the things of life
and even some of the trappings of the season to distract us and steal some of
the joy we used to have.
