Christmas Focus

The world has turned the season into one of materialism.   We go into debt so that we can show our love to (or impress!) our friends and family.    In many ways, Christmas (gifts, decorations, cooking, eating) has become something it was never meant to be.  Likely, by the time January hits, we will not remember who gave us some of the gifts, have to throw away some decorations, and need to shed a few pounds from overeating.   We are easily drawn into the things of the world.  All these things will pass away.  Whoever does the will of the Lord will abide forever.  I John 2:17     May we keep our focus on Christ.  May HE reign in us as we live out HIS purposes during a season that should be all about JESUS!
