Christmas like a child

The name of the song is "Christmas like a Child" and the message is amazing. As you listen to the song it helps to remember the awe you once had as a child for Christmas. It wasn't just about Santa Claus or presents. It was much more than that. There seemed to be a magic glow to the whole season in which only children could only fully appreciate. 

Take your self back when you were a child:

• The sounds of music
• Church productions
• Family dinners filled with laughter and fellowship
• Sunday School lessons focused on Jesus' birth
• Decorated houses (Nativity and all) 

Everything seemed to breathe Christmas and people acted happier. Unfortunately, something got lost along the way as we became adults. Stresses of life started to kick in and our appreciation for the day started to fade. As you look at the song lyrics try to put yourself in this setting.

I want to feel Christmas, how it used to be
With all of its wonder falling on me
This season has felt so empty, oh for quite a while
I want to feel Christmas like a child

I want to see snowflakes fall to the ground
My brothers and sisters all gathered around
Singing "Away In A Manager" as we sit by the fire
I want to feel Christmas like a child

It's been so long now, I can't say
Just when I lost my way
But I'm going back to how it was
When this day meant everything
And we spent our time remembering
The baby Child born for us

It's all about Jesus, asleep in the straw
This infant, this King, this Savior for all

So I don't need bells to be ringing
'Cause I'll join with angels singing ..Gloria
And I can feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child...

That glow is Jesus. Don't get so caught up in the expenses, gifts and travel plans that you forget Jesus. When we really focus our sights on Jesus the child like feeling of Christmas returns full force. 

“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” (Matt 19:14)
