The Reason...
I have to start out by saying Merry Christmas. It is the holiday season and as we are here in Clovis, NM we have seen such a different style of Feliz Navidad.
Most of you who know me, knows that I am not one to preach or push Christ of religion on anyone, but I TRY to live the way the Christ would have it so others can see Him through me. As always, I fall short of it. But as we were watching the Christmas parade last night on Main St. in Clovis. Things were very cold, sirens were going off everywhere, people were dancing to hispanic Christmas music, and for a little bit it seemed as if everything was in fast forward. You couldn't here anybody really talking to each other, it was practically chaos.
Just about the middle of the parade one particular float was passing and I could not read what they had spelled out in lights on the side of the float. Just then it was like time stood still and it was just me and this other guy and his girlfriend on the street. It was like he had a megaphone pointed right at my ear. All I heard was... "That says happy birthday" "Why in the world would they put that..." "How about Merry Christmas or something... but happy birthday"
I was blown away. He really didn't know whose birthday they were celebrating... I guess in my sheltered life, I thought everybody in America at least knew what Christmas was about at least behind the scenes. Even though they might not celebrate Christmas for that reason, I thought everybody knew...
Please pray for those who still don't know who Jesus is, I am not saying pray for people who are not Christians, please pray for those who really have not have not heard the good news.
