Matthew 6:19-21 says "Do not store up for yourselves treasures of the earth, where moth, and rust destroy, and where thieves break and steal. But stores up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heat will be also." Many people these days think that they need everything they see. Like they just HAVE to have everything. But why? Everything on this earth will be destroyed, nothing lasts forever except for our souls, heaven and hell. So like the verse says, why keep your treasure on earth? The greatest treasure is in heaven waiting for you. Not the new i-pod, or the next Call of Duty game. (Not recommended if you get motion sickness! Been there and done that!) Now I am not saying that everyone is like that, so if you think your not then just try to remind yourself the real reason for Christmas. The greatest treasure is Jesus Christ, I have a challenge for you, this Christmas, I want you to remind yourself the REAL reason why we celebrate Christmas. Not for Santa Clause, or Saint Nick. But for Jesus being born, because if you did not know, when Jesus was born he knew the plan. He knew that he was going to be betrayed by Judas, and yet he still came. You know why? Because he loves you. So for the next 19 days I want you to remember what Christmas is really about. Write on your door if you have to(Not really on your door but with a sticky note, I really doubt you want to write directly on your door.), make a big sigh that reminds you. I heard some people say...
There is no Christmas without Christ!!!
Also after Christmas thank God for what he has blessed you with!
