Last week as I was listening to the classic Christmas station I came across an old song that was perfect for my children's sermon. Jimmy Dean sang "My Christmas Room" long ago, and I think it captures in a way even children can understand what the Advent season's work is all about. Here are the words:
If I owned a great big house, I'd have a Christmas room.
When things about me all went wrong, I'd find Christmas still in bloom.
There would be a great big tree with evergreen perfume,
Its branches bright with memories safe inside my Christmas room.
In summertime when tempers flare, when peace seems a never thing,
I'd slip inside and I'd abide where herald angels sing.
But since I have no great big house when Christmas goes away,
Then make my heart a Christmas heart that carols every day,
And let it be my Christmas where good will toward all shall stay.
Are our heart being prepared to be Christmas hearts?
