Celebrate And Give Thanks For His Gift (Emanuel, God With Us)...

Christmas Past

Christmas Future

Everything has a consequence!

When I look at my life or the life of others;

I see a pattern of what I might call a Pendulum.

In our own human nature we all have a tendency.

We swing to this side or that side.

We can just chalk it up to each his own...

But I now can look back and see that life is a journey and we are

All learning through trials and testing of our faith!

Is it really about what you eat or wear?

(I am NOT attacking anyone here)

Yet all these things can make a huge impact...

What I am thinking for me is a greater measure of

Allowing the person the grace to walk out his own sanctification process.

Taking my own agenda or belief system and belittling another.

Is not going to gain anything!

I know of many that do not celebrate Christmas at all!

I have heard this is a pagan holiday and they use the

Scriptures in Nehemiah to say how we should not have a tree.

Look, I have grown up with celebrating Christmas, I have done 

My own research and I am willing to continue to

Celebrate Christmas...

This post is written not to anyone I know!!!!

It is just something that I have wrestled with from way back...

I am a Baptist

I am a Wife

I am a Mother

I am a Grandmother

I am doing the best job I know how to do!

I have never intended to offend anyone!

We all have the luxury to do as we understand to be acceptable

To God, but not always are fellow man.

Some things are just not my job to police

other people and how and what they celebrate.

We can give our opinion and you can even listen to

 Why they do or don't do something!

I have come to see that there are so many different ways

of doing things and ways to interpret scripture.

Take time to ask the Lord to continue to learn and grow!

I will no longer participate in these battles of what is

the truth or the way!

I am a grown woman and I will do

the best that I can with what He is doing in my life.

Merry Christmas...
