I believe in Christmas
Yes! I freely confess that I do. And,
“Yes” again; I believe in Santa Claus, too!
For many reasons, for varied purposes,
through “pure” knowledge. Lord! Thee knows fully that I have tried, mostly, to
become “Christian”, that is, like You, and, also, that I have desperately
attempted to be “Santa Claus” to as many as possible. Of course, I failed, both
times.
Perhaps my salvation might come in Your
mercy, at the time, with “He tried!” Amen!
Allow me, please, to offer an explanation,
somewhat. Not of despair, but hope. Keep the faith!
Death can come streaking out from our
surreal consciousness where we ban it with other vile evils and fallen demons
which chance to threaten. Its very ugliness grates on our psyche with the icy
finger of a stark phone call, appropriately, in the dead of night---the bad
beginning of an unending cold-sweat nightmare. Distress punches the stomach,
rips at the heart, bores a hole in the soul, empties the spirit. Yet, it
remains, reality. No matter how much we deny it, the truth of the matter at
hand remains and, even, we, cannot lie it out of existence. Hope! I pray. Dear
Lord!
My dear friend died. Someone I
loved…and, still do…and, always will. I assumed my friend had a lot of time; I
was wrong---dead, wrong! I took it for granted; no one ever knows how long.
I’ve shed many a tear over our loss…but,
I’ve smiled, just as often. For the precious memories, for my friend’s
Christian life, the goodness, the happy times.
Because of the anniversary of Christ’s birth,
I believe that soul is alright, that spirit soars, enjoying the reward of
heaven in the next dimension, a realm into which I cannot yet see.
Not only do I believe it in my mind,
feel it in my heart, sense it in my soul…I know it as an absolute within my
spirit. That knowledge is “true” and “pure” because…
I
believe in Christmas!
Amen!
Merry Christmas!
