I found this story. It is very thought provoking, and I hope you will to. The world has lost focus on the Christ that's supposed to be centre of Christmas. Whether you believe in Christmas or not, I strongly feel Christmas is an opportunity to let others know of the God that made the wonder of incarnation that's supposed to be the central theme of it all! But it is not the case! Sadly! There are those who are even advocating changing the name of the season so that it does not reflect its religious roots! READ ON!
'This morning I heard a story on the radio of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable, and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year. Overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, getting that perfect gift for
every single person on our shopping list, 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 and there was already a crowd in the elevator. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two kids in with her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and stated, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up and shot."
From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet calm voice respond, "Don't worry we already crucified him." For the rest of the trip down the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.'
