Galatians 4:4 (KJV) But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law…
Remember that verse…
This morning, as I was driving in to work, I turned on the radio and tuned it to one of our local Christian stations, 103.1. It was 6 a.m., and I was anticipating something spiritual, something encouraging, to start off my day.
What did I hear when turned on the radio? What did I hear when I turned on the radio this morning on the 20th day of November? What did I hear when I turned on the radio three days before Thanksgiving?
“I’m ready for some mistletoe and kissing…”
Uuuughh! Noooo! Not now! It was dadgum Christmas music, and the heathen kind at that!
Folks, why can’t we learn from Scripture? If Jesus Himself didn’t come to Earth until the appointed time, why on earth can’t we hold off on the mistletoe and kissing till after Thanksgiving?
For crying out loud, can’t we take a moment and show some respect for all the turkeys who gave their lives so that we could manage to be thankful?
Good grief! Can’t we just wait till the fullness of December has fully come? At least till the 25th of November?
Probably not. That’s why I’m not going to listen to anymore radio until I’ve prepared my first leftover turkey sandwich.
Amen and Amen!
Pretty harsh stance, but understandable.
I can get harsh at 6 a.m. before my coffee. Harsh, I tell you. 🙂
Ha, ha! Love your humorous tone. You make a strong case and yet, your humor softens it just a little. 😉
Just a little. Remember, I’m harsh without my coffee. 😉
Christmas music before Thanksgiving? Anathema! May it never be! I think the apostle Paul is with you on this.
Thanks 🙂
