Christmas – Susan's Reflections

The Light Shining in the Darkness

December would be a dark and dreary month were it not for Christmas lights. Days are shorter, and the sun has set by the time I leave work. As I drive through the streets of our town and into our neighborhood, I am cheered by the bright lights of Christmas. White icicle lights hang from eaves, beautifully lit trees gleam through large picture windows, and brightly colored lights are draped around trees and shrubs. The lights bring joy and cheer. They remind us that darkness can not hide the light.

The Bible does not provide the date of the birth of Christ. We do know that Jesus was born at a time of great spiritual darkness. His birth brought light into an oppressed world. The darkness of December, with the shortest days of the year, symbolize the oppression of sin and the heaviness of living in bondage,

Jesus’s birth was heralded with bright light, “And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.” Luke 2:9 The shepherds soon learned that they had nothing to fear, but rather a reason to celebrate. Jesus Christ, the Son of God and our Savior-to-be, had been born.

The words spoken by the prophet Isaiah had come to pass, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.” Isaiah 9:2

Jesus’s birth brought light to a darkened world. “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it….That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.” John 1:4-5,9

Darkness entered the world at the Garden of Eden, and ever since we have lived in a fallen world. The only escape from the darkness is to seek the Light. Jesus is that light. He has promised to reveal his light and his love to all who seek Him. During the Christmas season, I urge you to allow the true light of Christmas to permeate your heart and bring joy and peace into your life.

“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1

It’s a Wonderful Time for Giving

It is now 3 weeks until Christmas. For those of us who like to prepare well in advance, our shopping is down to those last few hard-to-buy-for loved ones. Procrastinators still have 20 shopping days left and some have 18 or 19 days until they begin shopping.

Whether you have been done with your shopping for weeks or haven’t begun, there is still time for you to think of others who are less fortunate. It isn’t too late to put some money in the Salvation Army kettle or buy a gift for a needy child.

In case you haven’t decide which worthy charity to support this year, I am offering up a few of my favorites.

Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child–The ministry founded by Franklin Graham has provided shoe box gifts to 157 million children in impoverished countries for 25 years. It’s too late to drop off a box at a collection point, but there is still time to build a shoe box online. For a $25 donation, you can select items for a boy or girl. You pick the age range and are lead through the process of picking a Wow item, 2 small toys, and 3 accessories. Essential items, including toothbrush, comb, crayons, colored pencils, and a notebook, are added to each box. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/

Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Ministry–Donations to this ministry provide gifts to children who have an incarcerated parent. 2.7 million children in American have a parent in prison. Prison Fellowship provides gifts to more than 10 percent of those children using donations collected. To learn more about this ministry and/or make a donation, go to https://www.prisonfellowship.org/about/angel-tree/.

Toys for Tots–The Toys for Tots toys collection drive sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps since 1947 has another week or so left in their toy campaign to provide toys to less fortunate children. You can drop off a new toy at a collection bin and the toy will be given to a child in your area. Or you can make a cash donation. 97% of donations go to provide toys and 3% is used for fundraising expenses. To find your nearest collection site, go to https://www.toysfortots.org/donate/toys.aspx

These are just a few of the many organizations that are devoted to helping children in your community and around the world have a very Merry Christmas.

“The Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35.

May your family be blessed as you share His blessings with others this Christmas Season.

Christmastime

A poem by Erica Green –December 2013

A tree in every window;

Shoppers fill the malls.

You hear the distant jingle bells

As people deck the halls.

“Christmastime is coming!”

You hear the people cheer,

“Buy more presents! Sing more songs!

The day is almost here!”

People don’t remember

All throughout the year,

They don’t think on goodwill toward men

Till Christmastime is near.

The baby in the manger.

A gift from God above,

Welcomed to earth by angels,

He was a gift of love.

So please try to remember,

As you trim the tree,

He gave the greatest gift of all,

The gift that set you free.

The Story of the Christmas Guest

When I was a child, we received a Christmas card featurning Helen Steiner Rice’s poem ‘The Story of the Christmas Guest.” This beautiful poem quickly became a favorite of mine. It reminds me of Jesus’s words to His disciples regarding caring for those in need found in Matthew 25:34 – 40

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

I hope this poem speaks to your heart and reminds you that the true joy in Christmas comes from sharing God’s love with those He brings into your life.

The Story of the Christmas Guest

by Helen Steiner Rice

It happened one day at December’s end

Some neighbors called on an old-time friend.

And they found his shop so meager and mean,

Made gay with a thousand boughs of green.

And old Conrad was sitting with face ashine.

When he suddenly stopped as he stitched the twine.

And he said “My friends at dawn today,

When the cock was crowing the night away,

The Lord appeared in a dream to me.

And He said, ‘I’m coming your guest to be”

So I’ve been busy with feet astir,

Strewing my shop with branches of fir.

The table is spread and the kettle is shined,

And over the rafters the holly is twined.

And now I’ll wait for my Lord to appear;

And listen closely so I will hear,

His steps as he nears my humble place.

And I’ll open the door and I’ll look on his face.”

Then his friends went home and left Conrad alone,

For this was the happiest day he had known.

For long since his family had passed away.

And Conrad had spent many a sad Christmas Day.

But he knew with the Lord as his Christmas guest,

This Christmas would be the dearest and best.

So he listened with only joy in his heart,

And with every sound he would rise with a start,

And looked for the Lord to be at his door.

Like the vision that he had had a few hours before.

So he ran to the window after hearing a sound,

But all he could see on the snow covered ground

Was a shabby beggar whose shoes were torn.

And all his clothes were ragged and worn.

But old Conrad was touched and he went to the door

And he said, “Your feet must be cold and sore.

I have some shoes in my shop for you.

And I have a coat to keep you warmer, too.”

So with grateful heart the man went away.

But Conrad notice the time of day

And he wondered what made the dear Lord so late,

And how much longer he’d have to wait.

Then he heard another knock, and he ran to the door,

But it was only a stranger once more.

A bent old lady with a shawl of black,

And a bundle of kindling piled on her back.

But she asked only for a place to rest,

A place that was reserved, for Conrad’s great guest.

But her voice seemed to plead, “Don’t send me away,

Let me rest for awhile this Christmas Day.”

So Conrad brewed her a steaming cup

And told her to sit at the table and sup.

After she had left, he was filled with dismay

For he saw that the hours were slipping away

The Lord had not come as He said He would

And Conrad felt sure he had misunderstood.

When out of the stillness he heard a cry.

“Please help, me and tell me – Where am I?”

So again he opened his friendly door.

And stood disappointed as twice before.

It was a child who had wandered away,

And was lost from her family on Christmas Day.

Again Conrad’s heart was heavy and sad,

But he knew he could make this little girl glad.

So he called her in and he wiped her tears,

And he quieted all her childish fears.

Then he led her back to her home once more.

Then as he entered his own darkened door,

He knew that the Lord was not coming today,

For the hours of Christmas, had all passed away.

So he went to his room, and he knelt down to pray.

He said, “Lord, why did you delay?

What kept You from coming to call on me?

I wanted so much Your face to see.”

Then softly, in the silence, a voice he heard.

“Lift up your head – I have kept My word.

Three times my shadow crossed your floor.

Three times I came to your lowly door.

I was the beggar with bruised cold feet;

I was the woman you gave something to eat;

I was the child on the homeless street.

Three times I knocked, three times I came in,

And each time I found the warmth of a friend.

Of all the gifts, love is the best.

I was honored to be your Christmas guest.

Proverbs 31 and the Ten Commandments of Thrifty Living

The Christmas season is a time for being generous and gathering with family and friends. However, after the holidays are over, many people find themselves saddled with significant debt accrued by giving gifts and throwing parties that went beyond their budgets. Even as we seek to be generous and shower affection on our loved ones, we must remember that the true spirit of Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ and sharing God’s love with those around us. Being generous and sharing with others does not require one to go into debt. It does, however, require some time, effort, and planning.

Today I am sharing some ways you “Applying Proverbs 31 to the Ten Commandments of Thrifty Living”. The ‘commandments’ in bold were created by the author of this list–I found it many years ago and I no longer have any idea who authored it. The Scriptures were included in the list and are from the New International Version. The application of these principles are my own ideas. I believe these principles are still valid, and if you apply them to your holiday planning and spending, you will be able to have a meaningful Christmas celebration while staying within your budget.

Applying Proverbs 31 to the Ten Commandments of Thrifty Living

1) Roll up your sleeves. “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” Proverbs 31:17

Convenience items can save time but cost more. Sometime the trade off is worth it as the time saved may be more valuable than the money spent. Be wise in choosing convenience items that give you a good value for your money and do truly save time. Likewise, paying others to things you are able to do will save you time but cost you money. Make wise decisions about what taks you should do yourself and what tasks are worth paying someone to do for you.

2) Organize your world. “She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” Proverbs 31:27

Organization helps you save time and money. Organize shopping trips to accomplish multiple tasks while out to save gas and time. Organize online shopping to ensure that you get free shipping and don’t have to pay rush delivery charges to get gifts delivered by Christmas. To get ahead for next year, organize holiday decorations and leftover gift wrap and cards so they can be stored properly and be found easily next year.

3) Provide for each day’s need. “She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family.” Proverbs 31:15

Caring for your family should be your first priority. Don’t let the business of the holidays interfere with taking care of the day-to-day needs of your family. It easy to get so busy that we end of eating out a lot and making multiple trips to the store for groceries and other necessities, both of which can wreck havoc with your budget.

4) Waste not; share your excess. “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” Proverbs 31:20

The holidays are a good time to clean out closets and give away items no longer needed. They are also a good time to share generously with others what God has given to you. I set aside a portion of my Christmas budget each year to buy new gifts for one or more children whose families need a bit of help. There are many, many ways you get share with others in deed. A few ideas are: donate unwanted items to Goodwill or similar organizations, buy new toys and clothing for children in need and donate through the Salvation Army, and pack a shoebox with small gifts to be donated to children in improvished countries through Samaritan’s Purse.

5) Discover your creative genius. “She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:26

God has endued each one of us with creativity, although we each express it differently. Pray and seek God’s direction in using the creative gifts He has given you to bless others. I enjoy knitting and knit Christmas stockings as gifts. I have friends who bless others with homemade jams, jellies, and baked goods. If decorating is your talent, your gift to a friend could be to help her decorate her home. Handmade gifts can save money but do require an investment of time, so plan ahead and be organized.

6) Learn prices. “She sees her trade is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.” Proverbs 31:18

Don’t fall for ads declaring that something is marked down 50% or more. Many stores mark prices up before the holidays to give the illusion that you are saving more money than you really are. The Internet and phone apps make comparison shopping easier than ever. Check prices on the items you need before you go out shopping.

7) Presentation is everything. “She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.” Proverbs 31:22

You can make even simple meals special by using nice dishes and decorating the table to be festive. You can make your home welcoming and inviting by adding inexpensive decorations, such as lights and tinsels, to your entrance. Simple, inexpensive embellishments can dress up your presents. Presentation does not have to be expensive to add a nice touch to your home and gifts.

8) Adjust your attitude. “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” Proverbs 31:25

Don’t let the holidays cause you to become overwhelmed and stressed. If you get too concerned about buying everyone the perfect gift or creating the perfect holiday, you will wind up not enjoying the holidays.There is no such thing as a perfect holiday, anyway. Remember Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ and a time to spend with friends and family. Keep your focus on Christ and you will have a more satisfying holiday.

9) Out with impulse. “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.” Proverbs 31:16

Plan your shopping before you leave the house. Know how much you plan to spend on each family member and stick to your budget. Impulse shopping leads to overspending and often to being less satisfied with your purchases than planning ahead and sticking to your plans.

10) Honor God. “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30

Everything we do should honor God. When our focus is on God and celebrating the birth of His Son, our celebrations will truly be meaningful and enjoyable.

T’was the Years Before Christmas

I read this stirring poem tonight. It was written by a good friend Steve Weber. In Steve’s own words, “God gave me a poem that came faster than I could write it for my sermon this morning based on the “silent” 400 or so years before Jesus’ birth. the title of the poem is, “T’was the Years Before Christmas”. Hope this provokes you to realizing that when God appears to be silent in your life it may very well be because He has something climactic planned.”

I am reprinting here with Steve’s permission. I hope it blesses you and helps you to keep your focus on the true reason we celebrate Christmas–the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!

Twas the years before Christmas and all through the land
The people were restless under Rome’s command
God’s silence was deafening in every home
His voice not heard for centuries as His people groaned

Who would deliver, who would set free
These people who once had such vic’try
When would God come to set His people free
When would the King Jesus return for you and me

As each voice rose up with a clatter, Lord Jesus knew what was the matter
The sheep needed their Shepherd so to the throne He did go
Dear Father they need me down below.
The time has come, all is in place, though they know not now, they will soon see my face

So to a young girl did Gabriel arrive, to deliver a message no man could contrive
“Dear daughter of the king, you shall carry His seed, that the world may know I am indeed…
The One whom the prophets spoke of before, the King, the Messiah, the Jesus of lore..
Fear not my dear girl, for you have been chosen, for with God the impossible is what has been spoken

The world as you know it will not be the same, your sins forgiven, no more shame
But He will not come as a prince or a King, but the Savior wrapped in clothes bearing “the Name”.
To Shepherds will I announce his arrival in time, and you will be called blessed because you are mine
Though the world may mock and your heart will be broken,
fear not my dear daughter, for your God has spoken”

Then turning away from heaven above, the seed entered Mary with tremendous love…
Now they shall know, now they shall see, T’was the years before Christmas prepared just for thee.
Now receive Him my friend, do not turn away
Let His love lift you as you surrender each day.
Though the journey be long and troubling at times
I am with you dear child because you are mine

by Steve Weber

Good Christian Men, Rejoice!

By John M. Neale

Good Christian men, rejoice

With heart and soul and voice!

Give ye heed to what we say:

Jesus Christ is born today.

Man and beast before Him bow

And He is in the manger now;

Christ is born today,

Christ is born today!

Good Christian men, rejoice

With heart and soul and voice!

Now ye hear of endliss bless:

Jesus Christ was born for this.

He hath opened heaven’s door,

And man is bless forever more.

Christ was born for this,

Chris was born for this.

Good Christian men, rejoice

With heart and soul and voice!

Now ye need not fear the grave:

Jesus Christ was born to save;

Calls you one, and calls you all,

To gain His everlasting hall.

Christ was born to save,

Christ was born to save!

What Child Is This?

by William C. Dix

What Child is this, who, laid to rest,

On Mary’s lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greeet with anthems sweet,

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the Kind,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste, to bring Him Laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men

At Christmastime particularly, we pray for peace on Earth and we do our part to promote peace by showing goodwill not only to our loved ones and our neighbors but also to those in need. We put change in the Salvation Army kettles, drop off new toys at collection centers, pack shoe boxes with gifts for Operation Christmas Child, donate food to our local food banks, and try to spread love and good cheer to those we encounter. We pray that wars will end and the heroic men and women who defend our nation will soon return home and be reunited with their families.

Yet, as we look around us, we do not find a world at peace. Wars rage around the world from Africa to Asia to Latin and South America. Violence is escalating. Our news has been filled in the last few weeks with the tragic stories of the senseless murders of innocent children and holiday shoppers. We wonder what has gone wrong with our world.

The wish for peace on earth is nothing new. For as long as mankind has existed, there has been strife on earth. The first murder is recorded in fourth chapter of Genesis when jealously provoked Cain to kill his brother Abel. In Psalm 120:6 and 7, the psalmist writes, “Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war.” The poet Henry Longfellow addressed these themes in his poem, “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” He recognized that God is still in control of this world and that one day He will set all things right.

God did not abandon mankind after creating us. However, He has given us free will and, unfortunately, many people exercise their free will in ways that lead to violence. God has promised that Jesus will return to Earth one day to rule and reign over it in peace. Until that time, however, we will only experience true peace on Earth when we turn our lives over to God and allow Him to give us the ‘peace that passes understanding.’

In these last few days before Christmas, I urge you to remember the true reason for the season, to celebrate the birth of the Son of God, who would die for our sins. Invite Him into your heart and allow Him to give you inner peace and true joy. Merry Christmas and may God bless you.

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Lyrics by Henry W. Longfellow

Music by J. Baptiste Calkin

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Their old familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet the words repeat

Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along the unbroken song

Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:

“There is no peace on earth,” I said,

“For hate is strong, and mocks the song

Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.”

Then peeled the bells more loud and deep:

“God is not dead: nor doth He sleep;

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,

With peace on earth, goodwill to men.”

Till ringing, singing on its way,

The world revolved from night to day,

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,

Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!

Achieving Balance by Satisficing

When I was a graduate student working on my MBA, the professors worked to ingrain in us the principle of satisficing. Satisficing, a combination of the word ‘satisfy’ and ‘suffice,’ is the process of finding a solution which will sufficiently satisfy the requirements, without necessarily finding the best solution. It requires a balance between the needs and the time and/or resources allocated to meet those needs. It is a principle that applies in everyday life and the workplace just as much as it did in graduate school.

The process by which our professors endeavored to teach this principle was to assign more work than could be done in the allotted time if a student was continuously striving to complete each assignment to the best of his/her ability. If a student worked diligently, however, it was possible to complete all of the assignments satisfactorily. The professors recognized that most MBA students will work in very demanding careers and that they will need to learn to balance their work loads to achieve all that is asked of them. This will require some compromise–everything will not be able to be done perfectly, but everything can be done well enough to meet the needs. Those of us who learned this lesson early found ourselves graduating at the top of our class. Those who didn’t struggled to complete the program.

The principle of satisficing works well in many areas of life, although I’m certain there are some areas in which the best solutions must be found. I personally employed this principle in my home as the very busy mother of three young sons. My oldest son was only 19 months old when my twin sons were born. I was determined to be the best mother that I could be and so I worked furiously to keep my house in order, cook healthy meals from scratch, and volunteer in my church while caring for these three very busy little boys. Consequently, I was stressed and exhausted most of the time. It didn’t take long to realize that I couldn’t do everything to the highest standard and maintain my sanity.

I had to lower my standards to levels that would meet the needs sufficiently and satisfactorily rather than perfectly. My house was not ‘company ready’ all the time, but it was cleaned regularly and the boys always had clean clothes to wear. Sometimes I bought canned spaghetti sauce and boxed cake mixes rather than making them from scratch. Occasionally I rearranged the furniture to hide a stain I couldn’t get out of the carpet.

Satisficing is a good principle to employ at Christmas time. The holidays can be a time of great stress for those who become overly focused on doing everything perfectly. We can never achieve the perfect holiday and striving to do so generally results in creating stress and chaos. For many years I resisted sending out a newsy Christmas letter in my cards because I felt it lacked the personal touch. I spent countlesss hours each December writing long, handwritten notes to each Christmas card recipient. The process took so much time that I would get behind on my shopping and gift wrapping. I would find myself rushing through the mall madly scrambling for gifts, rather than enjoying the sights and sounds of Christmas. When I found myself dreading sending out Christmas cards, I knew I had to make a change. Since I began typing a Christmas letter, the cards get done faster and are no longer a source of irritation and I have more time to enjoy other aspects of the holidays.

This year I would encourage each of you to examine your holiday traditions. If something no longer fits your family or is causing too much stress, let it go. You can have a wonderful Christmas even if your house does not boast the best decorations on your street. Your holiday meal can be delicious and memorable even if you serve store-bought pies. No one will notice if your gingerbread house is slightly misshapen, or if you skip the gingerbread house altogether this year. You will likely never achieve the ‘perfect’ Christmas holiday but you may very well find a balance that will allow you to have a holiday that is sufficiently close to your ideal for you to feel a great deal of satisfaction.

Preparing to Celebrate the Birth of our Savior

In the hecticness of Christmas, it is good to slow down and reflect on the true reason for this season, celebrating the birth of our Savior. The birth of Jesus Christ in a manger 2,000 years ago was the most significant event in the history of mankind. It is so easy to get caught up in shopping, baking, decorating, and the many other activities that go into our Christmas celebrations. One of the ways I focus my attention on Christ is to sing Christmas hymns as I go about my holiday chores. The traditional hymns reflect on the wonder of Christ’s virgin birth and it’s significance to mankind.

Today, I’ve been singing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” most of the day. This beautiful hymn summarizes the entirety of Christ’s mission as “God and sinners reconciled.” Jesus birth, life, death, and resurrection were God’s plan to allow us a means to find forgiveness and be reconciled to him. Without Christ leaving His heavenly home and coming to Earth to live among us, we would be without hope. But, Jesus did come and offers to us atonement and eternal life if we only accept His free gift. And that is truly a gift to celebrate.

Hark! the Herald Angels Sing

Lyrics by Charles Wesley

Music by Felix Mendelssohn

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King;

Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled.”

Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies;

With the angelic hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem,”

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord;

Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb,

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity!

Please as man with ment to appear, Jesus our Immanuel here.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings;

Mild He lays His glory by, Born the man no more may die;

Born to raise the sons of earth; Born to give them second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

Come, Desire of nations, come! Fix in us They humble home;

Rise, the woman’s conquering seed, Bruise in us the serpent’s head;

Adam’s likeness now efface, Stamp Thine image in its place;

Second Adam from above, Reinstate us in They love.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!
