Most all of us love Christmastime ..  I know .. I do .. there’s just so much love reflected in the air this time of year ..  families getting together to celebrate the birth of Jesus ..  giving gifts to one another .. in .. His Name .. I mean ..  think about it .. He was born into this world .. for no other reason .. than ..  to save the world .. yes friends ..  it’s the most awesome story of love we will ever know .. Paul tells us .. love has characteristics ..  such as .. and .. among others .. patience .. kindness .. giving support .. and .. celebrating truth .. I’m guessing when he made this list ..  he probably wasn’t thinking about what God’s love would sound like .. no .. he was thinking about a person .. and that person was .. Jesus .. so .. the truth is ..  when we find ourselves thinking outside of His love .. you know .. the other stuff that tends to come with holidays  .. the fussing and fighting .. the anger and hurt ..  we need to step back .. and ..  think .. haha ..  for friends .. there is no way the enemy can set us up for misery during this holiday .. or .. any other time of the year  .. if we stay mindful .. on remembering .. the birth of Christ .. and .. the Cross .. for even on that Cross .. He was patient .. and .. He kept no record of wrongs .. for  .. He died .. not in arrogance .. but .. in humility ..  so .. there we have it .. our formula to peace .. our formula to really see what’s most important in this life we live .. no matter the time of year .. oh no .. we’ll never achieve a love that looks like the love Paul described .. but .. if we see it  .. not as a love we have to do first .. but .. a love that was first done .. for us .. and .. to us .. this .. will simply change .. everything in us .. yes friends .. it’s a glorious time .. anytime .. to celebrate .. His Love .. don’t fight it .. for .. on the other .. is the winning ticket  .. haha ..  oh yeah people .. Love Wins Period.
