“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
So we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”” – Hebrews 13:5-6 (ESV)
As we look around this Holiday Season, we’re inundated by the world’s attempts to convince us that “more stuff” is what Christmas is all about. When we take our sights off of the wondrous event this Holy Celebration remembers, we miss out on the most important Christmas Gift the world has ever known.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
I am keeping my focus on CHRIST this season!
It’s not about stuff, it’s all about Him. Amen!
The most important gift for Christmas is Jesus Christ…
Amen to that! My devotion for this Wednesday deals with this very thing. Great, inspiration for the season, Phil!
Blessings!
Phil,
I think we lost sight of what Christmas is supposed to be about. Recently when my family asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year I said the best present you could get me is to save your money and go to Christmas eve service with me, no one has taken me up on that offer yet, but I am not losing hope.
Blessings you Phil.
I slowly read the bible verse you used and let it seep into my heart. It is hard not to let our culture drive our desires but keeping the right focus does help. good thoughts Phil
