We seem to have this destructive tendency to strip great things of their greatness. And when we do, the greatness that was meant to enrich our lives is lost to the detriment of our lives. Christmas is one of the most significant and most precious things that we’ve stripped. In order to reclaim a bit of what we can’t afford to lose, let me share a quote with you. It reads this way:
“To embrace God does not involve some complex formula of endless dictates or the embracing of a rule mongering tyrant with a forever list of expectations. It simply involves saying “yes” to the gift of Christmas and “no” to every lesser gift simply because every other gift is lesser. And how simple is that?”
– Craig D. Lounsbrough
Take some time and think about that quote this Christmas holiday. May it restore a bit of what we’ve lost so that we might be a little less lost. Here’s wishing you a blessed Christmas.
