As we make our way through this Christmas season, it’s my prayer we would understand the true reason for our celebration.

I know when asked in a religious content question do we know the “reason for the season” we would replay Jesus is the reason. And that is all fine a good. But, do our actions speak the same thing our mouths do?

Many people do things this time of year they wouldn’t ordinarily do any other time of year. Why?

Is it because they get depressed because they can’t provide for their children like other families can?

Is it because we have commercialized this season and made it about the biggest, newest gadgets to give our children and grandchildren?

Maybe it’s because we talk more about Santa Clause to our kids and grandkids than what the season is REALLY about.

During this time of year there should be more people feeling a greater sense of PEACE, COMFORT and JOY!!!

We might think that the great gifts we give and get during Christmas will give us great peace and make us feel special, and they might for a short period of time. But, the greater peace that sustains us all comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

He is the one who gives us the real PEACE!!!!
