Here we are folks. It is December 6th and Christmas is fast approaching and yet, it doesn’t seem real to me. Maybe it is because we are in the middle of a heat wave here in Nebraska. The temperature will be a balmy 63f/17c today. In Nebraska in December that is a heat wave. My friends in warmer climates are smiling at that.

Maybe it is because being single the holidays part of it doesn’t have much meaning to me with the over romanticized songs about the magic of Christmas, the crazy shopping, the silly movies etc. I don’t decorate my place at all.
One thing I love though is sharing the gospel message about Jesus during this time. Christmas is after all really all about Jesus coming as a human baby so he could grow to be a man to become our Savior. That is a message I never tire of telling. Christmas happens to be one of those times of year people tend to listen.
I am glad to bless others and show the love of Jesus during this time. Thanks to generous fellow bloggers Ukrainian refugee families will be blessed with Walmart gift cards, so their families can enjoy Christmas.
In the past, I have brought people to Christmas Eve Service with me and to Christmas programs at church, so they could hear about Jesus. So I take advantage of the holiday to share Christ.
But as for the holiday trappings, I am not feeling it and never have really. I am not bah humbug about it like Scrooge in a Christmas Carol. For me it is just getting through the craziness of it all to get back to real life.
I am not trying to be a downer and if you are excited about it all, I am happy for you.
Are you ready for it all?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
