Hope you all had a great Christmas.
And remember that it is CHRISTmas.
Not X-mas, but CHRISTmas.
Not about presents or Santa Claus.
But a baby that was born
In a manger over 2,000 years ago.
Tonight we are going to celebrate
A Christmas kind of like meal.
At our church to remember
How Jesus came into the world.
As a baby of humble beginnings.
A baby in a manger.
That would be dying for you
And for me.
Not only that but the people
That do shop, also have their.
Christmas tree up on Christmas Eve.
Wonder why they would
Want to do something like that?
You would have to take it up with them, I guess.
It is a relief when you
Have it all done. But to be
Honest did you all know.
That people do their shopping,
We are talking all of it.
The day before Christmas?
It is true from what I heard.
Five more days til Christmas.
How are you all doing?
Have you gotten your presents
Wrapped up and your cards.
Being sent out and all of that?
As that has been to of relief!
Rudolph was someone that
Was overlooked and not so liked.
And it was because he looked different.
The others were so focused on the
Outside that they forgot the inside.
And his big heart and soul.
Rudolph you know, the famous red-nosed reindeer.
Was like a misfit.
And that nobody ever liked him
All due to his shiny nose.
Others were missing what
Was on the inside.
They were instead staring at the outside.
Hopefully it will lead to people
Being good and not bad.
And that people will learn
To accept others.
Whether they are dorks
Or whether they are jocks!
People are different and that it is ok to be different.
Maybe this is where the Lord
Was leading us to be.
The way that we were grown
Up to be, in a way.
That can be either good or
Not so good.
I just you can say
Never fit in with the in crowd.
I was always the lonester.
Wanting to do things
You can say my way.
As being the loner may
Have been my way of doing things.
I felt like I was a dork.
Maybe that is why I was
A dork still even today.
In school, I really didn't
End up with good-looking guys.
And I was a rather shy and quiet gal.
The Lord wants us to laugh.
And He loves to laugh with us.
But we need to show that
It is the right kind of humor.
And not one that is offensive.
And can offend our Lord.
Keep in mind.
God has a sense of humor. As He does love to laugh.
And He loves to laugh at
Clean jokes. And that
As long as it isn't offensive,
Then it is the right kind of humor.
And laugh we strive for with Him.
As I love that kind of humor.
People may not like that
Kind of humor. But still, it
Is original and that is what
Started the thing called.
The Satire shows like
Saturday Night Live!
They are known
For the Ministry of Silly Walks,
Nudge, Nudge say no more.
And the Dead Parrot skit.
Either you have to love their
Kind of humor or be British.
To understand what they mean.
I am a big
Fan of the UK comedy troupe Monty Python. It is a little rauchy
I will admit. But I love their
Kind of comedy. And that
Like I have mentioned before
About the originals being originals.
They are original too!
You can never, ever place God.
Now He is the original.
First and last.
Alpha and Omega.
He is God of all Gods!
No matter what happens,
HE IS IRREPLACABLE!
When it is first built
It is really hard to replace.
Something that you saw
Put up as well as something
You think can never be replaced.
No matter how many times they replace something.
