honouring God ( Christmas/birthday )

Here's another thought on Christmas.

Say there was nothing pagan at all about birthdays. Still would Jesus really be pleased or honoured by his birthday being remembered?

I mean we are are earthly. We are fleshly. We love to be remembered , and we love to be given gifts. Its kind of nice to have our very own special day. And children look forward to their birthdays, they are eager to see what surprise you have for them.

But Jesus is so much different than us that way. He is heavenly. Does those things mean anything to Him? If the early Christains did birthdays back then he may have been in to it while on earth, but now?


But there is alot of things that does honour and please our Lord that we can do for him. Here is just a few.

Our pure and undefiled love and obedience to Him
feeding the poor
visit the widowes and the elderly,
visit the prisoned,
take care of the orphaned,
love our children,
remember His death,
just simply living our lives for His glory

Thats how we can honour God.

Also we have to remember that Jesus didn't just come into existence when he was born as a baby, like our earthly babies are. He always was. He was from the very beginning. So His life didn't just start when he was born.
