All I Want for Christmas...
There are a lot of things that we all want in life that are either unrealistic for us to get or would be so silly for us to spend our money on that we change our minds. We are constantly surrounded by reminders that we have these wants and if we don?t we are told that we should want. And once we are wanting, they usually tell us what and how much we should want. We all want, and often we want things that are not good for us and quite often can harm us. One of the great messages of Christmas is that God know we have broken "wanters" and that he can change that part of us, too. Part of the miracle of Christmas is that we can experience a radical reorientation of why and what we want. God knows what we want, why we want, and what we need- and in Jesus he has worked to change or answer each of them!
