Tender is the heart of Christmas
Some call Christmas a magical time of year. We seem to become more aware about helping others around us. We display more affection, compassion, understanding and seem to regain our human perception.
Where does this magic come from; who's in charge of it; why does this magic appear during Christmas and disappear as winter melts away?
What kind of magic is this and why does it not stay?
This magic is like a thief in the night. It comes and robs you of your own needs and bestows the needs of others upon you; so when you awake, you're ready to help meet the needs of others around you.
What kind of magic is this; that can take the "Me" out of "Me" and replace it with a willingness to help many.
Is it really magic that awakens so many dampen spirits and restores them to their natural ability; prompting holiday festivities. Or have we become so lost within ourselves, that Christmas is the only time we allow our self to excel and care about others within our communities around the world?
Why Christmas; why is this the only time of year so many seem to care; why not throughout the year?
My personal theory is this; I think it's the tender heart of Christmas, the heart of the child within each of us, only to be awakened by the yesteryears of our lives, being able to reflect upon our childhood memories; being able to re-live a special childhood Christmas within our past and becoming child like within our hearts.
But how is this possible; what can possibly encourage so many hearts at anyone moment, to stop, reflect, and respond; to the needs of others or trigger our childhood memories?
There is one greater than any; that can turn this impossibility, into a reality. It is He; that is the true meaning of Christmas. It is He; that can speak to the child within each of us. It is He; who can awaken the dampen spirits and restore them to their natural abilities. it is He; who can take the "Me" out of "Me" and restore it with many, it is He; who leads us to help our fellow man in time of need.
It is HE; and only He, who controls the magic of Christmas. "Jesus Christ" our Lord and Savior (The greatest gift to all mankind).
Think as a man; Act as a man; "Love as a child" (It's Unconditional) But more importantly, its well received by everyone around you.
God Bless & Merry Christmas to all; and to all;
Amen
