I don't know if you guys have noticed, but its December 23rd. Christmas Eve is TOMORROW. Who else isn't done with their shopping? I know I'm not. I'm about to take the younger brosef to finish up shopping. I don't know about you all, but this last week or so, I've just had it with this whole time of year. Its stressful with trying to Christmas shop on a budget and without punching the pushy lady in line behind you, obnoxious and crazy family gatherings, and who knows what else.. and I know we've all heard this before, but we seriously are missing the point of Christmas. If you need a reminder (which I have been needing from time to time), its right there in the name, Christmas. Its about rejoicing the birth of our Savior.
{I'm tired of seeing more Facebook statuses praising Tim Tebow instead of Jesus.}
It really hit me that we have more to be grateful for then most people in the world, yet all we do is complain about trivial stuff. I'm beginning to think that Facebook should change the status question from, "What's on your mind?" to "What's your problem today?" I mean, I complain on Facebook too.. or mostly just go on sarcastic mini-rants.. so I'm talking to myself too when I say;
Stop being a Grinch and grin a little. Hug your family, love your friends, be kind to a stranger. Give Back. Celebrate our wonderful Savior who is the CHRIST in CHRISTmas. And if you can't manage these things, then shovel some Christmas cookies and let the rest of us rejoice in peace.
It's Christmas time.
Let's Be Grateful and Get Joyful.
