Though a little bizarre, G-Pop decided that Thanksgiving was fine because the grandchildren outnumbered the dogs by one.
Yes–five to four.
A little too close for the sake of sanity but still within the margin of error.
As all the family busied themselves preparing the delicacies they hoped would be the winner of the day, G-Pop just sat in his chair and thought for a moment about how absolutely amazing Thanksgiving and the season leading up to Christmas truly is.
In a way it’s about Santa Claus.
Very few personalities are as much maligned and revered as the Jolly Old Elf. But he does have a special formula for approaching humanity which is a workable format, and seems to gain traction every year.
It’s never out of style. It’s never rebuked so much by the religionists that it ends up being cast aside in favor of Biblical themes, and his presence is not so bound to the manger that those who have no reverence can still acknowledge the relevance.
It’s really a very simple plan of action:
1. Get prepared.
Think about the children and get the grownups to become more childlike.
2. Climb a little higher up on the roof.
You can see better. Ground level often leaves us grim.
3. Once you see better, slide down into people’s living rooms.
For after all, there’s no way to get folks to come to the North Pole–it’s too cold. At least, that’s the rumor. Also, human beings are not interested in becoming elves. So instead, you go to them, you go into their living rooms where they fellowship and nurture one another.
4. Next, bring gifts.
We’re all suckers for a gift. As long as we don’t have to sign on a dotted line, ending up with hidden payments, a free gift opens up the human heart.
We will never be able to intimidate the world into a submission of peace.
We will never evangelize the world into accepting a common Christ.
But we can come into their homes with a great package:
A. God loves.
B. God listens.
C. God learns.
