"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..." (Isaiah 9:6)
I wonder which "us" that means?
-Is it the us that is so caught up in finding the perfect gift that the only perfect gift is forgotten?
-Is it the us that wraps the gifts at the last minute and forgets the eternal nature of the Christmas gift given so long ago?
-Is it the us that tries so hard to accommodate everyone and fit it all into their schedule yet still makes no room for the one that came to make everyone feel equal?
-Is it the us that must always must have an appeasing appearance with the seasonal displays yet fails to understand the significance of the simplicity of this season with rags and a feeding troth?
-Is it the us that always wants the biggest and the best, or the us that understands the power of giving over receiving?
Big, little, short, tall, skinny, fat, any color, any race, any creed-that's the us He was born for and the us He died for. Because of Him I exist-because of Him I overcome-because of Him I am victorious! Thank God the us He was given unto is you and me.
Remember that 365 days of the year and it just might make your Christmas a little brighter.
