What a gift... salvation. All one need do is accept His free gift.<br /><br />For the last week I have been trying to find CHRISTMAS cards. The stores have had all their "Seasonal" extravaganza out since before Thanksgiving. Usually their Christmas cards are packed all around their check out areas, but not this year. They are not even in their card area. I did find at Dollar Tree a box of cards that said Christmas "Greetings," but the pictures had nothing to do about the Nativity. I guess I will have to make my own this year. So, the "money" will not go to the dept. stores, but to the office supply stores for paper and ink. <br /><br />I can't believe how secular society has jumped on the "band wagon" to exclude Christians in Christmas. If Christians refused to buy their products, they would probably go bankrupt. It's a shame you can't even say "Merry Christmas" without getting sneers and jeers from the people you say it to.<br /><br />SO, I'm committed to not let them keep me from worshipping my LORD's birth! I will continue to say Merry Christmas WITH a smile. I will purchase at the stores that DO recognize Christ in the things they sell. And, I will spread the Good News with joy and not griping and complaining. So, it is left up to us Christians to continue the Christmas season with joy and sharing the birth of Christ with an incentive that will cause them to become curious at what is so exciting about CHRISTmas!<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours,<br />Susansistersusiesayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753668561920609089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421770883465385103.post-19832821370349720372011-12-03T11:54:22.287-08:002011-12-03T11:54:22.287-08:00I think people see what they are looking for...you...I think people see what they are looking for...you and I see the goodness of it all and that is a blessing! ;DJulie Harwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246850029056713294noreply@blogger.com
