"Christmas Season
So sorry to hear the News Reports about how people are being hurt and one man killed because shoppers were so caught up in what they were wanting to buy at a cut price on a time limit.
Stores could sale items at the same price all the time .
I blame the store for this .

People have to try to stretch their money to cover as much as they can for one thing. So they have to push to get what they can for their families when they can get it.
Stores are trying to stay in business ..Stores like WalMart have closed so many other stores in our towns and now are raising their prices & it is not what Sam Walton set out for it to be.
BUT this is not what Christmas is really about. We are taught wrong values.
Christmas has become a time of simply put ' giving gifts' or you are cheap.
You see it's really about the birth of a Savior ......... a story of giving love, something that can't be bought!!
But people no longer remember this. The wanting of 'things 'has replaced the good thing & the need to feel you can give or you will be embarrassed.
So we have people shoving & yelling at each other and even here , 2 women ( I do not say ladies ) fighting over a parking place.
So sad things like the above happen. A sign of the times. A time of fear , lost jobs , wrong priorities and greed.
I am glad that in our family we give to the small children a few choice gifts and then we spend time remembering Jesus the greatest gift ever given to man, and fellowshipping with each other.
Its not about who can give the best gift. or who can't give one.
No one is set up to feel bad if they are trying to manage on a lesser income to have the necessity.
I hope some families will just enjoy having each other and getting together for a meal.Maybe some carol singing and reminiscing.
I am glad I can say : I am a pilgrim and a stranger to this world , looking for a better home with a king that is so love that all is prefect. What a day that will be.
I can hardly wait!!!!
