Good Morning,
The air is crisp today and I feel the need for some warmer clothes. My pot of Door County Caramel Apple Coffee is just about ready to drink. It can wait for a little while.
I saw my first commercial for Christmas two days ago, it was for a toy sale. Only October and Christmas commercials!!!!! In addition, this coming Friday at 7:00 pm the Hallmark Channel is starting "Countdown To Christmas" with their annual barrage of Christmas movies.
I used to think that it was just because of dollars and cents that Christmas starts earlier and earlier. That could be true. My thought is this. I believe people are searching more and more for that Christmas feeling. Think about it. Inflation is out of control. Little dictators are launching missiles. The Covid plague continues. California is still burning. A drought is not letting go. Many still aren't working. Murders are up in just about everywhere. Oil slicks are killing the West coast of America.
People want a break! They are looking for the happiness of Christmas. They are fooled into thinking Christmas trees, lights, ham, stockings hung from the chimney, reindeer, cookies, gatherings with friends and family, are what Christmas is about. These are all wonderful things. But remember Christmas has the name Christ in it. With a daily walk with Him, prayer and devotion you experience Christmas every day.
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a child is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince Of Peace.
Start with Christmas every day. It starts with that walk with Jesus.
Marty
