The Sunday before I flew back to school after Thanksgiving, my family and I went to the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at our county courthouse.
We sang Christmas carols together. We prayed together. We lifted each others' spirits. Most of all. We came together as a community.
This is one reason I'm so glad I grew up in a small town. I think community is so important. Not saying you can't find that in a big city, but you probably have to look harder for it.
It wasn't commercial or worldly or costly. I really felt like it embodied the true spirit of Christmas: Love.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16
