WERRY CHRISTWAS?

WERRY CHRISTWAS

“WERRY CHRISTWAS” everyone!!! c”,)

When we first moved to Thailand a few years ago, i purchased a Christmas decoration for our home, to commemerate this special time of year. Over the years i have found many funny misspelled signs and things that were out of context or just didn’t make sense period, but I have never found one quite like this. It was not your normal goof up; it was very profound. The person, i’m sure, did not mean to do this, but the play on words here makes this one very thought provoking.

The decoration is supposed to read: “Merry Christmas”, but instead… the articulate designer hung the two “M’s” upside down, and it reads this way: “WERRY CHRISTWAS! ” To me, this is TRUTH and it speaks volumes!!! “Werry” (weary) Christ was, but He still chose to go through with purchasing your Salvation, by dying on the cross.

I love this decoration because of (what some would consider) the human flaw! I purchased the decoration in spite of its mistake. There’s a deep truth to this decoration! You see, we are a flawed people in need of a Savior, and Christ paid for our sins, in spite of our human flaws. I will continue to hang this decoration up for as long as i have it, as a simple reminder that Christ was, and Is, and Is to come! Personally, i think the designer’s biggest mistake was misspelling the word WEARY.

So, please remember you are special to Him this holiday season and that He’d still do it all over again for you! Christmas is not as much about opening your presents as it is about opening your heart. May you be filled with more of Christ this season!

I want to leave you with two Bible verses:

“But that’s exactly how you will be addressed. God will speak to this people In baby talk, one syllable at a time…, ‘This is the time and place to rest, to give rest to the weary. This is the place to lay down your burden’.”…. ~ Isaiah 28:11 (the Message Translation)

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me, and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me, and work with Me, watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” ~ Matthew 11:28 (Message)

Werry Christwas!!!
