Putting out the shoes...

"It's the most wonderful time of the year."  I am reminded of Christmas when I was a little girl.  The house was dark and I just couldn't wait until morning!  I would sneak into the living room, with a flashlight in hand, while trying to be as quiet as possible. The toy I had asked for would be there.  It was a wonderful feeling!

We didn't have a fireplace to hang our stockings, but we did put our shoes under the tree.  The shoes would be filled with an assortment of nuts just waiting for us to crack open and dig the sweet meats from each shell.  Our shoes would be topped off with an apple on one shoe and an orange on the other.  Santa was a wonderful man.

It didn't matter how much we believed in Santa Claus, We always knew the reason for Christmas.  It was the birthday of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  I can't remember a time that I didn't know about Jesus; my mother made sure we knew the real reason for Christmas.  My prayer for you is to know the real reason we celebrate this wonderful time of the year and share Jesus with your children.

It's me again Lord, thanking you for the memories of Christmas.

A little Georgia Wisdom saying make memories with your children and grandchildren and celebrate the birth of our Saviour.
