The truth of our Christmas season is that we have let it become more about the “kings” of this world than about the coming of Christ the King.

Indeed, the Christmas season has become something other than what Christ himself would want for us. We spend much of our time and money shopping for extravagant presents for people who already have more than they need.

This time of the year we usually start to think about cleaning off the front porch, emptying containers of declining summer annuals and replacing them with something a little showy for the fall.  We hope that the old standby of mums will persist through the onset of winter but that depends on the weather and the shape the mums were in when we purchased them. I have seen some that still look largely intact and others that are ready to be pulled.

Thanksgiving and pride cannot exist together.  Pride is a common problem.  Pride is something that can be misunderstood.  We are proud of our kids, our family, our church, our schools etc….

We feel good about many things and we take pride in them. However, pride is something that can be destructive.  Pride comes before a fall (Proverbs 16).
