It makes me think of how a spirit filled man such as you could even be vulnerable. Yes, Satan is alive and well and almost got your gift, didn't he? But praise the Lord, as you said, God's timing is perfect and He knew what you needed and so you got what you needed. Yes this world is somewhat upside down, it's evil, it's depressing and more comercialized than ever. But we know the end of the story. And we know that Jesus has already overcome the world and we that know HIM , know that Christmas is about a babe who was born who came and changed the world. Regretfully some people don't realize that at all. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with a new hope and a new vision. Thanks for what you do. God Bless You <3 Barbara WB Hi Elmer,

It is hard to keep a positive happy spirit at this time of the year. But I think it comes from the sadness we feel for all the people that do commercialize Christmas. And we have a even deeper sadness for those that want to take Christ out of everything:o( We know Christ and we know the outcome of this world. It is sad that so many people will never receive the GREATEST gift that has ever been given at this time of year.And they will never know the GREATEST and PUREST LOVE people can receive with Jesus Christ in their lives. All of us just need to keep praying for all the ones that do need to receive and have these GREATEST GIFTS of all:o) I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very BLESSED New Year. Remember to tell JESUS HAPPY BIRTHDAY and THANK HIM for all your BLESSINGS:o) The Lord’s time is the only time, because it is always the perfect time.

The joy of Christmas lives in our hearts, its joy lasting all year long, everytime we feel Him near :-)! In the Grinch... he stole everything from them... but on Christmas morning... the Spirit was still in the people of whoville stronger than ever. Christmas is only lost if we decide that the tree or the words are what define what Christmas is all about... Christmas is the Spirit of the Lord living in us and joining us together as one in HIM. It doesnt matter whether its "Merry Christmas", "Happy Holidays", or whatever... what MATTERS...is what you hold and know in your heart. NO ONE can take your Christmas away from you... just as NO ONE can take the Lord away from you... He is always there...just as sure as Christmas will always be. Merry Christmas to all and many days of good cheer!!! Thank you First Baptist Church... for reminding us to never let anyone take the Spirit of the season away and thank you Elmer... for sharing this story- making me look inside and joyfully realize what Christmas is to me :-)!! love and prayers, jeanie Christmas can only be lost if you let someone take it away.
