Are you a list maker? I know Santa’s checking his list by now. I’m pretty sure I am on the naughty list, its hard being good every day.
I was thinking about our other list for the holidays. You know the list of Christmas Spirit. So here it is?
Sung a Christmas Carol? Yes No Baked holiday goodies? Yes No Given a gift? Yes No Given to charity? Yes No Driven by holiday lights? Yes No Decorated your home? Yes No Spread holiday cheer? Yes No Been Scrooged? Yes No Shared at church? Yes No
Sorry, I had to add the scrooged. My neighbors have this awesome outside light display with music and computerized lights. Someone cut their speaker wire the other night. Really it wasn’t that loud. But some Grinch or Scrooge came along to steal Christmas Spirit. [An aside - we had two stretched Hummer limo's drive through last night to look at the lights. Talk about looking at lights in style. Go Bob!]
This is the time to give and share, not steal and spoil. Make sure your list for Christmas Spirit includes lots of ways to love and spread the Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all Mankind. See you in worship where we can hear the Great Christmas Story about perfect peace.
