We all know and love Luke’s telling of the Christmas story, Luke, Chapter Two, verse 11, “Behold, for born unto you this day in the City of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” In the Book of John he says, Chapter One, verse 14, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Powerful words announcing Our Savior arrival. However we tell the story, all Christians celebrate His coming by gathering together, gift giving, loving one another, breaking bread and a time of fellowship. I hope you and your family will be able to share the season, hopefully all together.
From the Hester Family, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
In America, we emphasize the “breaking bread” part, especially in the obese states of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama. I have no problem with eating, which is the most important thing in life. It is just that so many Americans no longer do anything, especially physical.
Eating is hard work….Especially if you eat a lot…The forearm and bicep take a beating during a heavy meal…Jaw muscles grow weary from all the chewing, etc..Then the legs and ankles, carrying all that weight around, it’s rough…
It’s hard work; but, unlike most other hard work, it is so much fun. The secret is to keep the work going, and work and work and work to burn up the caloric intake, which is no less than we expect of our cars.
