A relationship with God is based upon heart faith, loving obedience and personal knowledge of God. However, I am thankful for the Christmas season for several reasons. I wish it could last all year. People laugh a lot during Christmas. We seem to be more aware of each other during this season.
Children come home and visit their parents.
Let's face it, people spend money during the Christmas season and this enables the small businessman to make ends meet and the large businesses to employ more people. The way our economy operates, the quickest way to recession and unemployment is for us to quit buying. This first Christmas carol sung by the angels of God was brief, but it was fitting that they should sing it for it was written by Jehovah-God and was a message from the Lord Himself to His people. The angels sang something which men can understand - something which will change men's lives if they do understand it. The angels were singing about Jesus Christ who was born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem's manger and the salvation which He came into this world to work out.
