We can all see the sights and sounds of Christmas all around
us. We can also speak the words of Christmas, words that carry power and
feeling. Most of us are most comfortable with the Familiar words like
family, friends, fellowship, feasting, trees, lights, surprise and memories.
There are also Bible words like love one another,
love our neighbor, love the stranger, love our enemies, and love the Lord with
all your heart. These all come from the love God shared with us on that first
Christmas.
Then there are the Season's words like peace,
service, sharing, gifts, fairness, honesty, greetings, and have a happy. These
are words that flow like a gentle stream from Thanksgiving through New Years.
At last there is the Supreme word: Christ, without
whom there would be no Christmas. Preachers always want to remind us to
keep the Christ in Christmas and I am no different. When ever you are speaking
the words of Christmas remember that one supreme word that gives us all the
rest.
