Thankful Thursdays ~ What Does Love Look Like At Christmas

This was shared by a friend I know.  I believe it appeared on the internet but not sure where she found it.  Those who know me well know that I love to decorate and especially at the holiday’s.  I can get a bit wacky especially over decorating for Christmas.  Just ask John Winters or read his column from last Saturday.

I thought this message was perfect for today’s Thankful Thursdays!  I have tweaked it a bit to make it fit more my life and style but I pray it blesses you as much as it has me.

What does love look like at Christmas?

I Corinthians 13 Style

If I decorate my house perfectly with glittery silver bows, strands of twinkling lights, stars, shiny beautiful ornaments, and Santa’s but I do not show love to my family, I’m just another decorator.

If I slave away in the kitchen, baking for hours dozens of cookies, preparing the best gourmet meals and arrange a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another cook.

If  I display five nativity scenes, I work at the soup kitchen, sing carol’s in the nursing home and give all that I have to charity but do not show love to my family, friends and even strangers, it profits me nothing.

If I trim my tree from top to bottom with the most beautiful of decorations and put garland and lights everywhere, give loads of  teachers gifts, attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the choir’s cantata, but forget to focus on Christ. I have missed the whole point of Christmas.

True love stops cooking to hug a child.  Love sets aside the decorated cookies to kiss our spouse.  Love is kind, though harried and tired Love doesn’t envy another’s house that has coordinated Christmas china and table linens.  Love doesn’t yell at the children to get out-of-the-way.  BUT  if momma does happen to yell, “Get out-of-the-way” she is quick to say she is sorry.

Love is to Legacy…

May we love as Christ loves us!
