Rejoice! Rejoice!

Paul ends his 2nd letter to the Corinthians with the word Rejoice! Encourage one another, greet each otherr in Christian love. Easy right? We do this all the time! Not even close! Now, this Christmas season is an excellent opportunity for us to do just that in the main stream! With Christmas music blasting at every store and decorations abounding, we have the oppty to really shine for Jesus. You might not like the songs or the unnecessary hype, or the materialistic spectacle that Christmas has become, but it is our time! Do we rejoice upon seeing one another? I've been to 2 funerals in the past week, people were sad and missed the departed. Then turned and gossiped, bickered and put one another down. Bro love or bro shove? It is time to rejoice! Don't let this pass!
