Sam ...How timely that I stumbled across this today. Sam and I were just talking about the same thing. When we were kids, we thought the new (then) phrase "Jesus is the reason for the season!" was directed at <i>us</i>. As in, "Don't be so focused on toys and what you'll get; spare a thought for the Person who made Christmas possible!" But now it all seems to be <i>outwardly</i> focused in some sort of persecution complex, as if we're trying to compel other people into observing Christmas the way we want to ourselves. But it should be enough to observe it mindfully in our families and show our beliefs in that spirit.Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-695121914473452492011-12-10T10:39:38.209-08:002011-12-10T10:39:38.209-08:00Brilliant.Brilliant.even one sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885265079358569547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-32029601784756401952011-12-09T09:59:24.304-08:002011-12-09T09:59:24.304-08:00Love this!Love this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-69932731125167640802011-12-09T09:49:51.439-08:002011-12-09T09:49:51.439-08:00THANK YOU!!!!

It's not about what Christmas is called -- it's about what Christmas is FOR.<br /><br />Thanks for this!Amyhttp://mostlyharmlessfamily.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
