Zach, my six-year-old, is living the Christmas dream right about now.  He’s enjoying every second of the excitement.  We own a copy of the movie “The Polar Express” on DVD.  In that movie, the main character is a boy who has begun to doubt the existence of Santa Clause.  In his dream he is taken by train, with many other kids, to see Santa Claus at the North Pole on Christmas Eve.  The boy, at first, couldn’t hear the bells from Santa’s sleigh – an indication that he no longer believed in the jolly old guy.  No worries, though.  He heard the bell again by the end of the movie.

Zach has a bell that looks like the one in the movie.  I picked it up and pretended that I couldn’t hear it (because adults can’t, even the ones that used to be able to).  Zach was so excited because he could.  I told him that makes Santa very happy.

Don’t lose your faith in Jesus.  Newly-saved people are like kids who anticipate what their lives will bring them.  When do we lose that?  A renewed faith makes Jesus very happy.  You, too, can keep your spiritual journey alive . . . if you just believe.
