We Are the Reason.....

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn,
And all the gifts and toys, we knew we'd find,
But we never realized, a baby born one blessed night.
Gave us the greatest gift, of our lives.

We are the reason, that He gave His life,
And we are the reason that He suffered and died,
For a world that was lost He gave all He could give,
To show us the reason to live.

As the years went by, we learned more about gifts,
Giving of ourselves, and what that means,
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain,
Because of love, Because of love.

We are the reason, that He gave His life,
And we are the reason that He suffered and died,
For a world that was lost He gave all He give,
To how us the reason to live.

David Meece wrote this song many year's ago. It is still true today!!!!

PEACE......

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!!!!
