The Evergreen Tree At Christmastime

About the time of Thanksgiving, you will start to see Christmas trees for sale.
Why?
Because the vendors know the holiday is swiftly coming.
It brings with it a certain air of joy and merriment.
The green spruce Christmas tree has a great following.
Why?
Because it has an aroma all its own and is very fitting for the home.
There is immeasurable joy associated with this kind of tree.
But did you know that an evergreen tree would do as nicely?
It is God's creation and perfect for the holidays on a meager salary.
I have used a pine tree for a Christmas tree one year for it was all I could attain.
Jesus made it the holiday not the tree.
So don't ever forget to honor Jesus first and then adore the tree.
This is the way to have a brighter Christmastime if you follow this rule.
Honor God with all you have and make merry within your heart.
Doing so will bring you the joy you wish to attain and so much more.
