hey everyone! so, i have noticed some very strang things going on lately. first of all Master and Mistress keep coming home from the store and telling Pepper and Jon to close thier eyes, then they go upstairs with bags in thier hands, but when they come back down thier hands are empty. isnt that strange? well, it would be except for one simplpe fact: its CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!! i was thinking of what the real meaining of Christmas is. though I don't have "textbook narcissism " i do looooovvvveeee presents. an i love the fact that whenever carolers comje, they always want to pet me more thanb Tom and Spirit. they also shower me with compliments, like how pretty i am and what a good girl i am. Not like i dont alredy know all this...anyway, I was thinking about thewhole Christmas thing, and really its not about the tinsel and Santa Clause (I still belive in him, even if Pepper doesnt), but its about Jesus. i have this favorite excerpt from the Bible, wanna read it? I know i dont normally do mini devotions like this, but i wanna give it a try, just this once. really you should read the whole chapter, but here is my favorite part!
Luke 2:8-18
"8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
15 So
it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the
shepherds said to one another, 'Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this
thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.' 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds."
do you like it? you see, Christmas isnt Christmas without the celebration of Jesus. as Kutless said,
"What is Christmas
If there never was a Savior
Wrapped in a manger?
What is Christmas without Christ?"
wouldnt that be wierd? instead of Christmas it would just be mas. how lame, right? anyway, I really dont have anything else too add. that, and i think i hear tinsel i need to go play with! BYE!!!
