Sunday, December 1st

With our 30 Days of Praise challenge already a memory, December has blown in with a bang.  Stores are already scrambling to keep up with America's dash to snatch up the latest techy gadget.  I'll be honest, Christmas is my favorite time of year.  I love that during this one month, a form of Christ's name is written and spoken hundreds, even thousands, of times a day.  Unwittingly, maybe, but, spoken nonetheless.  I want to remind you, girls, to not let the commercialization or the materialistic attitudes steal your Christmas joy.  Use this opportunity as a tool to witness.  And, don't for one moment, allow yourself to be a pawn in our politically-correct society.  "What do you mean by that, Mrs. Kim?"  When the little cashiere tells you Happy Holidays, look her straight in the eyes and wish her a Merry CHRISTmas.  Ask God to give you the boldness to slip her a Christmas tract while you pay.  Remember, it is His birth we are celebrating, after all.  

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Philippians 1:18

Celebrate Christ, girls.  Not just on the 25th; not even just during December.  But, let this month's festivities begin a fire in you that will continue into the new year and beyond.
