At church these past four weeks, we've talked about some of the symbols of Christmas. Maybe it takes me a while to put things together, but I never thought of it this way.
1. Evergreens remind us of God's never-ending, unchanging love for you and me.
2. The star and light remind us there is hope in a dark world.
3. Gifts remind us that God gave us the ultimate gift of love in His Son Jesus Christ, to transform our lives and use us, then, to transform the lives of others.
4. Nativity Scenes remind us that "the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us..."
With all the rush, it is hard to keep focused on what matters. Tomorrow when you are out, take time to reflect on the simple symbols of Christmas and what the day is truly about. Simplify and Enjoy! - that's my motto, and I'm sticking to it. Merry Christmas!
