Reason for the Season

With Christmas becoming politically incorrect, I'd like to share one of the raddest things I've ever received on a Christmas card, aside from scripture. It is from Ronald Reagan, dating to December 24, 1981...


"On Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Christ with prayer, feasting, and great merriment. But, most of all, we experience it in our hearts. For, more than just a day, Christmas is a state of mind. It is found throughout the year whenever faith overcomes doubt, hope conquers despair, and love triumphs over hate. It is present when men of any creed bring love and understanding to the hearts of their fellow man...Let us resolve to honor this spirit of Christmas and strive to keep it throughout the year."

Most of us that know Christ are in concordance with the overall theme of this message, however it is a wonderful part of history that should truly encourage each one of us to strive to not only carry a joyful spirit in our hearts, but more importantly, remember the reason for this day, and live it out throughout the year.
