Loss Of Meaning


The loss of meaning. Do you realize we have lost the meaning of Christmas, or even Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a time to spend with family, and a time to be thankful for all that God has blessed you with, yet it is looked past. It goes right from Halloween to Christmas. Yet this year I have found that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because you get to be with family and eat. There is no pressure for present or anything. Christmas is all want, want, and want, always wanting this and that. A new ipod because mine isn’t big enough, or I want a new cell phone because so and so’s is cooler than mine. Have you ever thought about how is Christmas spelt? CHRISTmas!! Is it spelt like that on purpose or not? On Christmas people need GOD not things. People are not filling the void they feel within themselves with presents that void is only filled through Christ. Why do we not do anything about this. Is it because we are scared or because it is easier to look past and just go on with our lives? What would happen if we step out of our comfort zones and grew through the experience of making Christmas how is it supposed to be? What are you doing to do with your CHRISTmas?
