I think… YES!
Why? Because we’re winning… BIGLY!
It seems like at every turn we’re winning. Many have suffered in this war, many tragic episodes. Unfortunately, real war takes much.
The reason I’m posting this is because many of us know that tomorrow isn’t Jesus’ birthday. It feels a bit hollow knowing that.
BUT, why not blaze a path towards true understanding? Just try again.
To be honest, I don’t worry much about when it happened, as much as the fact that it DID happen. I believe that God became man and His sacrifice on the Cross and His blood are what matter most. What saves us.
Do I believe that the Son of God was born on 12/25? Nah, don’t. But if we can humble ourselves and try to love them, maybe we can heal faster. I don’t know, but I hope.
We’re winning. Let’s Celebrate the Love of Christ.
How i explained it to my 9 year old niece is like this. "You know how you celebrate your birthday and have the party on the weekend so all your friends can come and celebrate. It's the same thing with chtistmas. It's not on that day but it is the day we come together and celebrate that moment." It keeps it simple and the main part is that we focus on Christ. That is why today, though sick right now, I will rejoice that a child has been born know as Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, who died for my and the the world's sins till the end of time.
Love that.
