Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la 'Tis the season to be jolly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Don we now our gay apparel Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la. Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Oh yes, it is that time of year again! Time for family gatherings, shopping malls to be packed as the sound of Christmas Carols play throughout the stores, Houses decorated in shades of greens, reds, and golds. Christmas is here and what a joyous time it will be. As we prepare for the season, I know that Christmas can be exciting for some and sad for others. It’s the time of year when love is felt and seen everywhere you go. Husbands and wives seem to be get so busy with the hustle and bustle making sure that everything is perfect. Gifts must be bought for the children, Dinners cooked for families, and all the parties you can think of are going on. You would think that Christmas is the best time for marital bliss but somewhere in the back of my mind I sense that for some married couples Christmas is all but exciting. Why you ask? Well because CHRIST is missing in Christmas in the marriage and it is time we put Him back there. Have you ever broken down the word Christmas when it applies to marriage? I sat the other day and thought about what does marriage look like in the word Christmas? Well here is what I came up with, C-Christ, H-Honesty, R-Respect, I-Integrity, S-Sacrifice, T-Time, M-Mercy, A-Accepting, S-Support. I know it may appear and sound silly to you, but if you really took a serious look at your marriage, would you see that there may be one of those areas that you have left out? What if by applying just one missing letter to your marriage daily changed the course of your relationship forever? Wouldn’t that be the greatest gift you could give your spouse at Christmas time? The gift of love?? The gift of Christmas back in your marriage. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family from mine!
