Christ in Christmas

“Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

the birth of Christ

was not about ideology

or theology

it was not about rituals

and all things Sacred

the birth of Christ involved little talk

it was all about

birth

it was about God taking action

and being born in a human body

being born in the midsts of

outcasts, losers

animals

and shit (it was a barn after all)

it still is

it is about us

birthing God

make God present in human flesh

allowing Sacred Presence (Spirit with a capital S)

to make its presence felt

as we feed the hungry,

clothe the naked,

forgive the guilty,

welcome the unwanted,

care for the ill,

and love our enemies,

Christmas is certainly not

for the

faint

of

heart
