A child once said, "When you stop opening presents on Christmas and just listen, love is what you'll hear."
Yes, it's a merry Christmas after all. The decorations didn't do it; the ads didn't either; but Christmas is not something passive, that's done to you. Christmas is a reminder to do something. In itself, Christmas won't do any good, but it can spur us to it's namesake, Jesus. It was my choice to ignore the gifts and listen to the love in my house and my choice to remember Jesus. And when I did, the bad didn't seem so bad. It seems Christmas is a typical medicine: it only works if you choose to take it. And when you take it, it works.
thank you...i'll take your word for it and keep looking
