Let's Keep Christmas

Keep Christmas is the beautiful message that the late Peter Marshall brought to his congregation one Christmas and I'd like to share some of it with you.

We all feel the pressure of approaching Christmas. The traffic's terrible. You can't find a parking space. The stores are crowded. Mob scenes make shopping a nightmare. You're worrying about presents, thinking of friends and loved ones who are so hard to shop for.

You can't think of anything you need, which is rather strange when you take time to think about it. But maybe there is nothing in the stores that they need. But what about some token of love?

Or what about love itself? And friendship and understanding, consideration and a helping hand and a smile. In a prayer, you can't bite each other.
