Proper Christmas Perspective

[JudyLynne]

A woman was out Christmas shopping with her two children.

After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything
else imaginable; and after hours of hearing both her children asking
for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to
the elevator with her two kids.

She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time
of the year.

Overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste
all the holiday food and treats, getting that perfect gift for every
single person on our shopping list, making sure we don't forget anyone
on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to
everyone who sent us a card.

Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the
car. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two kids in with
her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn't take
it anymore and stated,

"Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up
and shot." From the back of the elevator everyone heard a quiet calm
voice respond,

"Don't worry, we already crucified Him." For the rest of the trip down
the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.

Don't forget this year to keep the "One" who started this whole
Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word.

If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world would
be.

Luke 2:1-20
