THE REASON FOR THE SEASON -- 2008

On this Black Friday established by the secular society throughout the United States, many persons will be seeking and maybe finding the object of their affections and their enthusiasm to spend hours prior to waiting and waiting and waiting. What are they waiting for, you say? They are looking for bargains, for ways of saving "money," and for any reason to escape the real reason for the season. Of course the marketers prefer the term, "Black Friday" versus "Red Friday" because of what being in the red indicates. Of course, consumers are asked to buy on CREDIT and any other gimmick that will entice the consumer to VOTE for their products or services. YOUR VOTE ALWAYS COUNTS!

Even in the word, "Credit," you will find the word "RED." When you buy on credit now, you will pay much more later. There are better plans that encourage consumers to LAYAWAY their choices, and fit their buying habits into their actual, liveable budget. Using credit wisely works well in the long run. But, try telling that to the many individuals who bought products and services on CREDIT in the past and who now are unable to meet their current financial obligations. There are many respectable Credit Counseling Services that will assist the overcharged consumers with a viable method to resolve their debt effectively and efficiently.

So what is the real reason for the season? Is it to go deeper into debt? Is it to buy out of luxury rather than out of necessity? Have the consumers really come to grips with their standard of living versus their scale of living? There is a big difference. Foreclosures are occurring because greedy financiers extended CREDIT beyond what the consumers were actually able to resolve over time. To shop around for the best possible options takes time, but time is your money. The cycle for poor choices by consumers has to end soon. There are too many scams out there that prey on the vulnerability of "shaky" and misguided consumers. Be a smart consumer. If the idea sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. Beware of "foxes" dressed in "sheep" clothing.

Are you still seeking the reason for the season? Break away from the secular atmosphere for a moment and breathe the air of God's plan for your life, if you give God a chance. Your loving Creator never lets you down, but He allows you to make choices because He gave you FREE WILL and a CONSCIENCE. Both are good features in your life. However, when you allow the world, the flesh, and the devil to dictate how you are to live, then you risk the loss of understanding the REASON FOR THE SEASON.

For many persons who have been seeking the Uncaused Cause of their human existence, meditation and reflection will lead to the TRUTH. For many persons, their NEW BEGINNINGS start on this coming Sunday when they will recognize the ADVENT of their lives. They will spend the ADVENT SEASON as a SPIRITUAL PREPARATION for the memorial of the FIRST CHRISTMAS in which God came to earth and became a human being to show how much LOVE HE is willing to GIVE to show HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for all of HIS CREATION. YES, LOVE CAME DOWN AT CHRISTMAS! GOD IS LOVE!
