Merry Christmas
Hieronymus
It really depends on how you look at things sir, I mean if one keeps Christ as the center of everything then the tree's and lights and presents can be a very beautiful thing.
We choose to walk in Love and Peace And Forgiveness for none of this is forced on us nor comes into our lives automatically.
Just as Jesus went to a sinners home even though the spiritual folks said it was wrong. Jesus shared Love and Joy and condemned them not. Salvation came to the house.
We can walk as Christ or religious people judging everything and everyone.
One will bring you great joy and love
The other will leave you in bitterness and everything associated to it.
No Sir, life is what we make of it. Nothing in any ones life is to big for God to turn around. We just have to allow Him to and He will when we are walking in Love and forgiveness and every other way of His word or ways.
Praying that you find your self in a place where you are drowning in the Love of God and as it flows out on to others, you find everything about you and your life is changing better then you could dream.
We love you brother
Merry Christmas and Blessings
