The Miracle Of Christmas.

Last year, organizations from the ACLU to the likes of Macy's tried to destroy Christmas. They banned Christmas programming, disallowed the "offensive" wishing of "Merry Christmas", and kicked the Salvation Army bell ringers from certain shopping centers as now even Santa Claus has been deemed offensive as he does not visit Pagan, Jewish, Atheist, Agnostic or Muslim Households (these are the actual reasons cited).

The problem is, Christmas is not under government control. It is not under the control of any man on this planet. Rather, the miracle of Christmas is a miracle because it is God's reminder to us of a promise made by him through his son, Jesus Christ. As such, it cannot be negated, cancelled, or otherwise controlled by ANY group or organization. What is the miracle of Christmas?

It is when a runaway child returns home on the holidays yearning for her parents' love. It is when people give freely to charities for some unknown reason. It is when a homeless person, through the kindness of a "good Samaritan" gets a new lease on life with the help of a job corp, some new clothes, and a place to stay because someone gave money that wound up creating such a miracle. It is when a Church visits the elderly who might otherwise be spending Christmas alone because family has passed.

The miracle of Christmas is the working of God himself. No one can take away any act of God.
