A woman was Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of
walking down row after row of toys and after hours of hearing both her children
asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the
store elevator with her two children in hand.
She was feeling what so
many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year, getting that perfect
gift for every single person on our shopping list, overwhelming pressure to go
to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats,
making sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making
sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.
Finally the elevator
doors opened revealing a crowd in the car. She pushed her way in and dragged her
two kids and all her bags of stuff in with her. As the doors closed she couldn't
take it anymore and stated out, "Whoever started this whole
Christmas
thing should be found, strung up, and shot."
From the back of the car,
a quiet calm voice responded, "Don't worry lady, we've already crucified Him."
The rest of the trip down was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
Don't forget this year to keep
the One who started this whole
Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, and word.
If we all
would, just think how much better this world would be.....
