Lest we forget, there was a time in America when people and
even presidents were unafraid to stand for traditional values and encourage
others to do the same. At this special time of the year, let us all renew our
sense of wonder in recalling the story of the first Christmas in Bethlehem. Some celebrate Christmas as the birthday of a great and superior
philosopher and teacher. Others of us believe in the divinity of the child born
in Bethlehem. We believe that he was and
is the promised Prince of Peace. Like the shepherds and wise men of the Christmas
story, we Americans, have always tried to follow a greater light, a star, if you
will. Be it at lonely campfires along “No Man’s Land” on the Western Front, or
in the darkest of days of the Great Depression, through war and peace, the twin
beacons of faith and freedom have brightened the American sky. At times, our
footsteps may have faltered, but trusting God’s help, we have up to this point, never lost our way.
Regardless of what moral relativists, current political leaders and Liberal Court Justices may say or decree, let
this holiday season be for us a time of reaffirmation and re-dedication. This Christmas day, in millions of homes, let
the glow of the Christmas tree or candle serve as a reflection of the love of
Jesus. Let us keep in mind that if it were not for one special child there would be no Christmas nor life eternal.
