The Wonder Of Christmas
By mstrohm | December 23, 2008
When I was young I would love to help my dad hang up the Christmas lights on the house. The lights were bigger back then and would shine brightly. Vivid memories of those shinning lights remain today.
Last week a mom at the school where I work relayed that her first grade son called called for his dad after having been put to bed. He asked if his dad could tell him how many days there were to Christmas. They counted together on the calendar and talked about how exciting Christmas will be when it finally comes.
Parents, I understand how tough this time of year can be on you. Special programs at school and church, parties, gift buying and increased road traffic are just some of the added pressures of the season. Don’t let your little ones fall prey to the seasonal frustrations that arise. Remember to take time to enjoy the season. Remember the awe and wonder you had as a child and help your children enjoy this very special holiday.
May God’s awsome gift inspire and encourage you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Mark
