This Generation

In frustration Jesus asked with what he could compare the generation in front of him and likened it to children in the market place who played the flute and no one danced, or sang a dirge, and no one mourned. (cf. Mt 11:16).  It was a no win situation for him.
We might feel the same way as traditional values slip into the abyss and contrary values emerge.  A look at how many today regard Christmas, emphasizing gift-giving while ignoring THE GIFT which is the is the reason for our giving. The word, holiday, has replaced Christmas and in some places, even schools, the singing of Christmas Carols has been eliminated.  It's really time for Christians to take a stand and explain the real meaning of Christmas...This new song does a good job.  Enjoy.
