Musings and mutterings......

My son has posted some thought provoking questions on his blog http://www.iabwa.org/ and draws a few comments about them. Many of his ideas are definitely not of my generation but I understand where he is coming from and respect him for reaching out to a generation that needs Christ. In his last post he made a comment about the "Happy Holiday vs Merry Christmas” argument. He is right in that the whole fight has become rather tedious. But it is only tedious to those who already KNOW that Christ is the reason for this season. No matter what the world decides about what to call the day, those who know Christ as Lord and Savior will never stop remembering to celebrate a day in memory of His coming to earth as a babe. I will always be a bit of a scrooge or grinch during this season for that very same reason. I miss the simple expression of cheer from an open acknowledgement of Christ. To give to others and to graciously receive are both expressions of Christ. He gave so much to us but He also receives from us. Praise, thanks giving, adoration, love. Remember He also received a foot cleansing for a grateful follower as well as a head annointing from an another.
So on this day whether it is a “happy holiday” or a Merry Christmas, smile and be Christ to some one else.
