Just Christmas, a live Christmas...
I think CHRISTMAS is the best time to SHARE in life, LOVE... to look at each other, into each others' eyes and hearts, to listen, to open up our arms. To TALK to each other about deeper things.
We need something real, not just fantasy. Not just "the show."Family... it's time to BE FAMILY!
Family being more than watching things together.
Being more than a shared escape from our worries and troubles.
I am writing this really, to preach to myself... the need for something real. I want to actually BE ALIVE this Christmas. To "live" something. Not just watch something. I want to LIVE this Christmas. I don't want to just watch it.
Again, I am just preaching to myself here, exhorting myself to make Christmas more than watching movies about Christmas.
Maybe, in here, you will find encouragement too.
The easiest thing to do is to do nothing. To just watch.
To experience family.
That's what I want to really dwell in this Christmas.
May the Prince of Peace greatly enrich and bless your Christmas and holiday season.
