Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins.

In 1965 I was the opening actor in the Christmas play at our Church. I was supposed to step on to the stage and welcome everyone to the evening and announce the play. My Mother said at every practice I would march right up there and bark out my lines like a pro. However, the night of the play didn’t go quite the same way. She said I marched up on stage, took one look at the packed house of people, and just stood there and cried. The amazing thing about that is no one threw tomatoes, no one uttered an unkind word, and no one even got up and left. No, they just sat there and smiled at me as I was escorted off the stage in tears. Maybe it was the suit and bow tie, but all they did was love on me and tell me it was alright. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about? Jesus came to save us from our sins!  When Jesus is allowed Lordship of our lives He makes us patient, understanding, compassionate, and loving. May we allow Jesus to reign supreme in our lives is my prayer.

Keeping it Real!
