Charles Shultz and sunbeam

I was pleasantly surprised to day when I went to get some bread. My friend Ryan bought me a loaf to pay me back for all the bread he has eaten at my house this year. Not necessary but very thoughtful. The bread was the Sunbeam bread and on the label it has this little girl with folded hands in prayer and beside it the bible quote "Not by bread alone". How cool is that just making a sandwich the word of God is glorified. Because if you don't know what the rest of that quote is "not by bread alone but by every word from the mouth of God". And how true it is not by bread alone we survive, at least not spiritually. We are only fed by the word of God, it feeds our souls and how starving many of them are. On the same note, yesterday was the 40th anniversary of " A Charlie Brown Christmas" Charles Shultz in 1964 made this little animated film for television, but would only allow it to be aired if there was no altering with the real message of Christmas within. In the movie Charlie gets upset and asks cant anyone tell me the real meaning of Christmas then Linus proceeds to quote Luke 2 about the birth of a Savor Jesus Christ. How AWESOME. Especially in a time when the word Christmas is being removed from everything. Holiday tree how ridiculous. I pray that as this season of love and hope approaches you as Charlie Brown do not loose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. But remember in the Words of God and the words of Linus "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." Merry Christmas and Glory to God in the Highest.
