Jesus is not the reason for the season He is the season.

Well it is less than a week before Christmas and for many people the pace of things start to accelerate. With out a doubt there will be things that will be over looked ad other things will be forgotten.
Soon families will be together friends will meet and a good time will be had by all. Presnts will be opened and some will be to big and others to small or not the right color and some will be just plain ugly (How I remember the tie I got and only worn once and then it disappeared)
Through all of this where does the baby Jesus fit in.
I wondered what it was like on that first night the baby Jesus was born what people thought when they heard him cry did they think just listen to that baby why don't the parent make him be quiet, but soon he was forgotten about because he was just another baby.
To many times he is the one forgotten or over looked I hear people say Happy Holiday and not Merry Christamas well I say in return and a Merry Christamas to you. Even some of those who say keep Christ in Christmas are the very one who have forgotten or overlook the baby Jesus and am I one of them. Have I gotten so wrapped up in the comercialization of Christmas that I have forgotten what Christmas is all about.
The prophet Isaiah proclaimed the coming of Jesus he told about a child will be born he meantioned of his suffering that of a redeemer and one who proclaim the word of God's salvation to man yet where does He fit into my life? Have I become just someone who thinks of the Christmas season as just that a season a time to decorate, party, and share gifts or have I kept Christ in Christmas.
When I look at Jesus or think about him do I see the Savior just like Simeon did. Do I proclaim it to all I see that Christ came into this world to bring peace to all men. Does His glory shine in my life just as it shined when the angels told of Jesus birth to the shepherds watching their flock. Well I have a lot to think about my prayer is Jesus may you not be just another part of this holiday season may you be the reason in my life for this season may I let you liht so shine in my life that others will see you and you will become in their life the reason for this season
Blessings
