Let’s put it another way - Christians who attend services are likely to carry a bit of the joy and peace of Christmas in their hearts for many weeks following the holidays. Others who only do the rituals of presents are disappointed right after the gifts are opened and everyone leaves the ‘party’.
Faith is deeper than gifts, songs, etc. It goes deep into one’s inner being, the heart and soul.
Well-stated, Gumdrop. Merry Christmas!
Amen! You said it the best!
A good and blessed Merry Christmas!
