Christmas shopping - by now most of us have been involved in some way with buying Christmas gifts. But what do you buy for the person who has everything? What do you do about gift- giving if you are out of work? Why does gift-giving have to be such a big deal at Christmas? While most people in America say they like the Christmas holiday, only a small percentage say they like the shopping. For most, shopping is a stress producer. Why is that? Gift-giving is one of the things we will talk about this week. The wise men and their journey is one of the most mysterious and intriguing parts of the Christmas story. This week we will look through their eyes and see what we can learn from them as we celebrate Christmas 2009.
Just for fun, let me ask you two questions that we will answer on Sunday: How many wise men were there and when did they arrive in Bethlehem to see Jesus? We'll answer those plus other questions this Sunday. By the way, our adult choir is singing this Sunday and next - it should be a wonderful time of rejoicing in the birth of our Savior, Jesus.
See you Sunday. I can't wait!
