Today is Christmas!

Today is Christmas!  Christ is born again!

It is a day of
    getting up early with the excitement of a child
    remembering staying up late or staying up late,
    traveling to be with family,
    cleaning up wrapping paper,
    eating more than you should,
    sorting out what goes where and what goes back,
    watching old Christmas movies,
    playing with new stuff,
    wearing new stuff,
    remembering those who you miss on this day,
   wondering where some are and what they are doing,
   loneliness for many, 
   work for some,
   sadness for those who experience grief in any shape or form,
   rest for the weary,
 
It is a day you could
   call an old friend,
   feed others,
   forgive many,
   worship,
   Read your Bible--the birth of Jesus,
   Pray,
   rest your soul,
   write an email or letter to someone who needs encouragement,
  make a donation to the ministry of your congregation
  smile more
  laugh loudly,
  praise all whom you meet,

May Christ be born in your world today.  May this day change you from the inside out as Christ is born again!  Merry Christmas!

Pray for me as I Pray for you,

Dr. M. Jack O'Dell
