Throw Back Thursday

On social media every week many
look back to the past with throw back
Thursday whether it is with photos
or words.

I think of those right now who are

no longer with us at Christmas time.

These people are either family or 

close friends.

Wednesday nigh I talked to my

cousin Peggy on the phone. She

mentioned the past along with the

present and the future. 

Peggy's youngest grandson is a

senior in high school and he is 

looking into where he will go 

for college next year. His thoughts

are about the future while she is

thinking about the times in the past

well as present and future.

Her grandson is thinking about ROTC

at college. He is thinking of engineering

at the same time Peggy's husband was

pilot in the air force so he tells about

his experience flying so the grandson

might decide to go in that direction as

well.

This year's Christmas will be different

for many of us for sure then it will be

in the past as well.

What never changes is what Christmas

stands for. There was a baby named Jesus

who God sent into the world to change it

for eternity. The question is what we do

with this child Jesus Christ. Do we accept

what he has done for us or live our lives

as though it doesn't matter at all. Something

to think about for sure.

Jesus Christ came into the world changed

our lives and purpose for eternity. We have

the choice to accept or not. Amen!
