It just seems that I keep reading about people being upset about what holiday decorations are going up and when. I have already put up my Christmas decor but I have not forgotten about Thanksgiving. I personally like the Christmas décor and want to enjoy it for a while. It seems there is worry about going from Halloween to Christmas. In my mind I wonder why do we even put any emphasis whatsoever on Halloween? It’s not the most desired thing for me to want to celebrate. But at the same time, I am not here to put an end to it. However, I just wonder why is everyone so upset about this? I mean are you only thankful on Thanksgiving? Shouldn’t we be thankful all the time? I have breath in my lungs, I am healthy, my daughter is healthy and unlike a lot of people, I get to eat today. That is the very least I have to be thankful for, I could write so much more. I guess I have so many questions unanswered about why people are getting so frustrated with this. Frankly, at the end of the day they are just decorations.
For me, I would like to be more worried about how I see “Christians” act towards one another. I would like to put more emphasis on living out life the way it should be lived. I would like to be more worried about the fact the being called a Christian today means I am lumped in with all kinds of religions that do not reflect my beliefs at all. I could go on and on about many other things we should be fighting for. I guess, my point is, I think sometimes we get caught up worried about things that do not necessarily matter, when we should be more focused on the condition of the church, ourselves and on those of us around us. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether my house is decorated for Christmas or Easter right now. All that really matters is who I am living my life for everyday. Am I honoring God? Am I showing those around me that I am a follower of Christ whether I speak or not? Maybe the true question should be…. what have we become as Christ followers?
