Good Morning and Merry Christmas!
 
You know what?  I have made a decision!  I am going to quit fretting about all of the "Grinches" of Christmas!  I am going to let the "main thing be the main thing"!  I am going to keep my "focus" on the TRUTH, not the devices of the enemy.  God promised that He would "frustrate and disappoint" the devices of the enemy, so that they cannot perform their enterprise or anything of lasting worth!  Everything that we can see going on around us is temporary ("subject to change")!  So, why should we "focus" on that?  The TRUTH is not "subject to change"!
 
The TRUTH is this.....Jesus was born of God and those that have accepted Him as their Savior can and do "celebrate" His birth 24/7/365!  Nothing anybody does can change that!  The "merchants" can take CHRISTMAS out of their advertisements, the ACLU can take CHRISTMAS off of public property (so-called), the "media" can take CHRISTMAS out of their commercials.... but you know what?  They can never, ever take CHRISTMAS out of ME!  That is what I have decided to "focus"on!  I will just let God take care of "disappointing their devices"!
 
I am not telling anyone not to take a "stand" against the enemy...but the best way to take a "stand" is by "standing on the promises of God"!  We do not have to "defend" Jesus.....Father God will do that!  So, just keep saying Merry Christmas to everyone you see and keep "praising" God for sending Jesus!  Psalms 8: 2 says that "Praising God" is what will silence and stop the enemy and avenger!  I am all about doing it God's way!  Can I get an "Amen"?
 
Rest assured....no person, no organization, no legislation will ever be able to take CHRIST out of CHRISTmas!  Even if they spell it with an "X" (which grieves my spirit)! So, enjoy your Christmas season by knowing that it has nothing to do with a "pine tree", it is all about the "tree of Calvary"!  I feel so sorry for those that have never known this!  Pray for them to find CHRIST this CHRISTMAS!
 
Have a Blessed Day!!             (Stay "focused"!)                   In His Love, Luanne
