True Meaning of Christmas

Not only is this a common phrase, but it is one that is singled out for so many occasions, banners, signs, and whatever else a person might derive motivation from. However, as monotonous as these phrases may get they contain a meaning whether it’s watered down or not. The best part, is what’s behind the saying, or rather, what it reveals to the person willing to go deeper. While thinking about this I decided to pick one that I had heard many times and take it apart, and attempt to reassemble it with the intention of having a different perspective. That’s the fun thing, purposing to do this so that you will have a different outlook on the selected target. So here it is, this is a exegetical derivitive of the phrase  The true meaning of Christmas.  A phrase which juxtaposes that a person can be happy when they find the true meaning of the Christmas holiday. 

The- Demonstrative pronoun referring to the action and descriptive quality of the noun it is assigned to. 

True- Believe in every way with the current proposition, the state of pure speach, act, conversation, and that which refutes the nature of false serendipity.

Meaning- The either hidden or open deduced thought, concept, or idea of the makeup of anything, the facts of is, and could be as pertaining to future, present or past; what is intended to be, or actually is, expressed or indicated; signification; import…etc

of- that which determines, used to indicate derivation, origin, or source

Christmas- the annual festival of the Christian church commemorating the birth of Jesus: celebrated on December 25 and now generally observed as a legal holiday and an occasion for exchanging gifts

This is not only very interesting but it brings about an entirely new meaning to this phrase. I am going to put these two together, the imagined meaning, and the real meaning. 

1st meaning- To believe in the original part of Christmas that will raise your spirit, make you happy, and bring out the true, loving, generous, person in everyone. 

2nd meaning- The descriptive quality of beliveiving that which refutes the nature of false serendipity,speech, acts, conversations and propositions that show a hidden or open deduced and/or preconceived idea or mentality which originates from the annual festival of the Christian church  celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ celebrated on the 25th of December. 

In other words, Believing in the truth that isn’t hidden about the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Think about it! 

We have our mentality so messed up that we believe Christmas to be the time of the year where everyone focuses on being the person that they tell everyone 364 other days out the year that they are. And this is so wrong! Christmas is not determined by how you want it to be. It comes around every year whether you like it or not, just as your birthday does. For this date is a birthday itself!  So next time you think of a phrase, stop and ask yourself, what does that really mean, it could rack you a little more than you would expect!

Yes!

Yesterday evening about 7: 00 clock or so was my last hurrah for education. I took my G.E.D. and had the graduation ceremony last night. Boise State University held the graduate ceremony for 2009 in the Grace Jordan Grand Ballroom. It was well done and I was happy and felt very finished when I turned my tassel. Wonderful feelings of being released and not having to ride the ‘bee’ on wheels. I am now, well..IMG_0191….still learning.

Easter- A reflection.

For a small town where everyelse hold a bigger, nicer, thing, there was a service. One to celebrate the risen state of Jesus Christ after dying a horendous death for the common saint and sinner. For the just and the unjust. In Riggins, Idaho this morning, we were expecting 50-60 people. When services like these come about we expect just the faithful to be there. When the numbers topped 120 we where wondering why people were there. There is something wrong with the church when the people ask themselves, “why are they here.”

    The presence of God was abolutely overwhelming this morning as we just worshiped. Pastor Cliff spoke one Jesus as the Christ of Life. At 136, I realized, I know why they’re here, it’s not the music, the preaching, the words spoken or people see. We are serving a risen saviour and HE IS IN THE WORLD TODAY. Praise God for who he is. Let Jesus Christ the risen King over Heaven and Earth be the risen King over your life.

If you can’t walk on water, it’s because you haven’y got out of the boat yet.- Cliff Scheline

 

I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today;
I know that He is living whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him, He’s always near.

 

    Chorus
    He lives, He lives,
    Christ Jesus lives today!
    He walks with me and talks with me
    Along life’s narrow way.
    He lives, He lives,
    Salvation to impart!
    You ask me how I know He lives?
    He lives within my heart.

In all the world around me I see His loving care,
And tho’ my heart grows weary I never will despair;
I know that He is leading thro’ all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing will come at last.

 

    Chorus
    He lives, He lives,
    Christ Jesus lives today!
    He walks with me and talks with me
    Along life’s narrow way.
    He lives, He lives,
    Salvation to impart!
    You ask me how I know He lives?
    He lives within my heart.

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian, lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ the King!
The hope of all who seek Him, the help of all who find,
None other is so loving, so good and kind.

 

    Chorus
    He lives, He lives,
    Christ Jesus lives today!
    He walks with me and talks with me
    Along life’s narrow way.
    He lives, He lives,
    Salvation to impart!
    You ask me how I know He lives?
    He lives within my heart.

The last time you said….

“[Praise to the LORD] O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.”- Isaiah 25:1

Every morning when I get up the first thing that I look at is my clock to see what time it is. Normally it shows a time of 5:30. Here about this time dad is up and we are both getting ready to leave for the store. We both have made it a point to be positive people and try to set the same example for other people. Not every person is perfect and definetely not me but I try hard. Throughout the day I write notes to people wishing them a good day, send off a few encouraging emails and do other stuff that just makes them feel like they mean something.  But the very one who created us is more than not neglected and pushed away by the insignificant cares of this world.

 

When was the last time that you specifically talked to God. When was the last time you acknownledged Him for something that he has done in your life. Maybe you got the job you’d prayed and prayed and prayed for. An then when you got it you thought nothing of that it came from God. All of us like to be noticed, applauded, congratulated, and promoted. But when was the last time you thanked God for what He’s done for you. Try saying it again, He’ll probably appreciate it.

To brighten things up.

It’s the way you say it
It’s the way you say it…A University of Georgia student was visiting a Yankee relative in Boston over the holidays.He went to a large party and met a pretty co-ed.

He was attempting to start up a conversation with the line, “Where does you go to school?”

The coed, of course, was not overly impressed with his grammar or southern drawl, but did answer his question.

“Yale,” she replied.

The Georgia student took a big, deep breath and shouted, “WHERE DOES YOU GO TO SCHOOL??”

 

 

A ventriloquist was making fun of rednecks with his dummy at a bar. Then an angry redneck stood up, rolled up his sleeves ,and yelled, “I resent that!”

The ventriloquist started apologizing to the redreck.

The redneck looked at him and said, ” You stay outta this, I”m talking to the guy on your lap!!!!

My Pa Won’t Like It
A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon load of corn.The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise and yelled over to the boy, “Hey Billy Bob, forget your troubles. Come in and visit with us. I’ll help you get the wagon up later.”

“That’s mighty nice of you,” Billy Bob answered, “but I don’t think my Pa would like me to.”

“Aw, come on boy,” the farmer insisted.

“Well okay,” the boy finally agreed, and added, “but my Pa won’t like it.”

After a hearty dinner, Billy Bob thanked his host. “I feel a lot better now, but I know my Pa is going to be real mad.”

“Don’t be foolish!” the neighbor said with a smile. “By the way, where is your Pa?”

“Under the wagon.”
