ADVENTure Day 7 –

There is a house on Pecos St, a couple blocks south of 104^th Ave., that, I love to drive by this time of year.  They don’t have the most Christmas lights, but they have an abundance of homemade dioramas.  In that yard are a couple of dozen little scenes of Christmas joy that someone has spent years making.  In the background is a large, brightly lit Christmas tree.  I don’t know the people at that house but I appreciate the effort they go through to spread some Christmas joy.

In Exodus, chapter 25, God lays out detailed plans on how to decorate the tabernacle.  It must have been something to see.  All the gold, silver, bronze, and fancy embroidery points to a holy and magnificent God.  Our Christmas decorations can be the same, pointing people to the reason for the season, and sharing the fun and joy that come with the celebration of Christ’s birth. 

Do you enjoy decorating for Christmas (like I do)?  Have fun with it and know that it can point to the awesome truth of Christ’s birth.  Are you one who despises decorating?  Do something that will point to the birth of Christ, whether it will be decorating, or participating in an event that shares the message of joy in this season.  As Christians, we carry the incredible message of God coming to our level on that first Christmas.  Let’s not keep that to ourselves!  If you are reading this and are not a Christian, take a look at the amazing story of the Creator of all humbling Himself to come and meet us here on Earth!
