Seasons come and go. So why don't we say "season's greetings" all year around? This season's greeting for me and my famiy it is "Merry Christmas!" I love hearing it in other languages too. Should we try to hide our faith behind some more neutral, trying not to offend type greeting? It doesn't work. They will simply be offended by something else - a look perhaps. Grow up for Christ's sake. Say your greeting and promote diversity instead of bowing to monotony and a forced lack of respect for individual freedom and spiritual integrity.
Why the greater attack on the Christian holiday? Maybe because it is a gift thing. We have them! We have the ultimate gift! But like days of old, many don't get the spirit behind the act of giving and the gift itself.
My prayer is this; may you all be richly blessed by the spirit of Christmas whether you are willing to acknowledge it or not.
About Me
- ElizaBeth
- 10 years after first dropping out of college I returned to finish. To do thta I moved halfway across the world (Germany to Iowa) with a 5 year old daughter. My husband had just been diverted to the front line in the first Gulf War. My father-in-law had just passed away. Talk about stress. This was back when evening, weekend, and online classes did not exist. My extended family was all an hour, 4 hours or more away. It was difficult and what got me through was a great support system of friends. Here is a virtual neighborhood where we can all connect and be that support system for each other. My goal now (15+ years later) is to earn a MACI with an emphasis in online course development. I plan to pursue opportunities in the area of creating/formatting additional online courses for adults. Come join me in class!
