Daily Nugget: 25-Dec-2011

Let me begin by saying, Merry CHRISTmas to all of you. I am most grateful that you and I have been Blessed to see another holiday. Many have been called HOME and moved on to the UPPER ROOM, but GOD saw fit to keep us here another CHRISTmas and for that I am very thankful. 

Today, as you and your family sit next to your CHRISTmas tree, open up and/or exchange gifts, take a moment to think of those who are not able to have that experience. More importantly, take a second to remember the true "Reason for the Season." No, it isn't about presents and such; it is about the birth of CHRIST and then spending time with family--point blank period. Somehow we have gotten away from the CHRIST in CHRISTmas and the holiday has become so focused on who spends the most money, gives the best gifts and the material things that come with the aforementioned.  And while it is nice to give to the ones you love, we must always remember, because of HE WHO WAS BORN IN THAT MANGER, we have been afforded life and the opportunity to live and love. 

Enjoy your family, the new things you will receive, those gifts you have no use for and all that good ole' soul food. But I ask you to join me in a moment of silence and praise for those who are no longer with us and for HE who is the true "Reason for the Season."

~MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BAH HUMBUG!!!~
