What's your attitude going to be this Christmas?
An interesting question isn't it?
A fairly recent phenomenon is the 'self gift buying'
that seems to be growing each year in our culture.
What's that I hear you ask?
More & more people are buying Christmas presents, not to give others,
but to give themselves!
This selfish attitude is fed by all the adds, & brochures that we are bombarded with at this time of year.
All telling us that we need their stuff, we deserve their stuff,
we can't enjoy Christmas without their stuff!
All of this feeds into a selfish, greedy attitude, which is the exact opposite of the attitude we should have!
The Apostle Paul wrote these words in Philippians chapter 2 verses 4 & 5.
"Each of you should look not only to your own interests
but also to the interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:"
A Christ like attitude displays compassion, selflessness, humility & service.
After all, Christmas is all about Christ & His attitude should be displayed to the world
in abundance, especially at this time of year!
So, I ask you again, "What's your attitude going to be this Christmas?"
