I've spent too many years, in a panic over Christmas. For in the past, my brain was frantic, at all that needed to be done,, Shopping, cooking, decorating, fearful, would they like their gifts? My own personal Martha Stewart hell! Oh, the peace that now I have as Jesus is in charge! For once I surrendered life and will, His gifts they never end. Christmas now is joy to me. I do only what feels right. I know my limitations, before all was only stress. Christmas now is not in stores, or frantic, sad perfection. Christmas is here, right in my heart, where His love is, all year round! Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Dear Ellie, I don't know if I inspired you, or repulsed you, by my comical poem about the holiday shopping craze I posted in the pub, but this one is a beautiful statement of true spiritual evolution from immature materialism to seasoned spirituality on that Spiritual Journey you've chose. Very well put-and it makes the Holidays soooo much more enjoyable --doesn't it!!! David |

Ellie you're not the only this has happened to. It's become such a commercialized thing. We tend to forget the true meaning of the season in all the gift buying and all. One of my favorite sayings is: Keep CHRIST in CHRISTmas. I know you'll have a peaceful one this year!  <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |
