The true meaning of Christmas
The song says, “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” The words are so true. Each day the Lord allows us to live on the face of this earth we see Christmas decorations, advertisements for Christmas gifts, and the many people who are preparing to travel for Christmas and those looking for family members to come home. But we all must remember the real meaning of Christmas is the birth of Christ. We give and we all must remember that God is the Master Giver. He is the one who gives us the greatest blessing and that is life itself. Remember to give to others because God gives to you.
