Christmas - Hubert N C

We just celebrated Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago and now we are quickly approaching Christmas.

What do these holidays mean to you and what message are you sending your children and/or grandchildren?

Was Thanksgiving all about a big meal and a day of football on tv at your house? Or was it a time to to pause and give thanks for all your blessings?

It is easy to be thankful for the good things, but we also need to give thanks for

• Things we don't know - it gives us an opportunity to learn
  
  
• Difficult times - it is during these times that we grow and mature
  
  
• Limitations - provides an opportunity to improve
  
  
• Mistakes - they teach us valuable lessons

I believe a thankful heart will lead us in the right direction showing us where we need to spend our time, money and energy giving us the balance we need in our lives.

As a child I remember how the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas just dragged. It seemed more like months than days.

Now it seems we barely have time to put away the china and silver used for the Thanksgiving meal before it is time to get it out again for Christmas dinner.

It is easy to get caught up in a commercial Christmas---gifts, decorations, parties--- and forget the reason for the holiday.

Do our children understand why we celebrate Christmas? Do they think it is all about Santa and gifts or do they know the true meaning of Christmas?

I believe Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to remember and teach our children that

• The fir tree - is a symbol of HOPE--the tree stays green all year--which illustrates the hope of mankind. Its needles point heavenward, showing us where to place our hope.

• Star - The Star was the sign of fulfillment of God's promise - the birth of Jesus

• Candle - A symbol that Christ is the light of the world and it is He that vanquishes darkness.

• Wreath - Symbolizes the nature of love...... love is a continuous round of emotion and affection.

• Santa - Represents generosity and goodwill toward our fellowman.

• Gifts -"God so loved the world He gave his only begotten Son". Thanks be to God for his gift.
  

• Candy cane - It represent the shepherd's crook which rescued his sheep. A reminder that we are our brother's keeper.

• Angel - It was the angels that announced the news of the Savior's birth.
  

• Bell - The sound of the bell brought lost shop back to the shepard. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.

I believe that if we take the time to reflect on the reason for the season and what it means to us and if we are truly grateful for the gift of Christmas, our priorities will fall into place.

Our hearts will guide us as to what we need to do to have the balance we need to manage our families, work, time and friends--our lives will have balance.

I wish you and yours a Happy Holiday Season with the right balance for you and your family.
