My wife went into a Walmart store and asked three different people where she could find a nativity scene. None of the three knew what a nativity scene was let alone where to find one.
I walked into a Walgreens store yesterday looking for any signs that this season is about the birth of Jesus. The only thing I found was reindeer and santa trinkets.
We can get upset and disappointed that the message is being lost or we can recognize it was never the world's responsibility to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, that privilege belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ.
May every day be a day where we look for opportunities to share Jesus with a lost and dying world. Great conversations can take place as we share why our hope and faith rests in One whose birth was in a manger while angels announced His coming to shepherds tending their sheep.
