As I drive through my neighborhood I marvel at all the festive decorations adorning the rooftops of houses and the front lawns this time of year. Some are monochromatic and some full of color. Some have blow-up Santa Claus’s and sleighs. Some just simple wreaths with red bows on each window.
Each house reflects the family who lives inside. Their style. Their taste. Whether they’re traditional or more modern. Maybe even if they have children or not.
As I think about our own house, I think about what it reflects to those who see it. I think about how I hope it reflects the true meaning of Christmas,
The other day I received a Redeemed Christmas – Good News – Doormat in the mail from Dayspring. I immediately opened it up and set in outside the front door. It reflected exactly what I want others to know about Christmas.
There is more to this season right now than sparkly lights and gifts and homemade cookies, even though all of those things are important as we prepare a birthday party for our Savior.
But the true Christmas is the Good News. The Good News that brings great joy.
“But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.” Luke 2:10 (NLT)
We had a guest come over recently and as she entered our house she asked, “Where did you get your doormat?”
I smiled a smile deep inside.
It is important that our homes reflect the true Christmas of Jesus’s birth. There are plenty of other ways to celebrate, but if we, as Christians, are not reflecting Truth, then how will others ever know it?
Dayspring has wonderful home decor products to help you reflect Jesus’s birth inside and outside your home. This includes the Redeemed Christmas – Good News – Doormat they sent me to review. And right now their Christmas items are on sale.
Share with us. How do you make your home reflect the true meaning of Christmas?
