It’s Christmas time. Lucy comes in where Charlie Brown is standing and says, "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. `Tis the season of peace on earth and good will toward men. Therefore, I suggest we forget all our differences and love one another."
Charlie Brown, whose face lights up at this, says, "That’s wonderful, Lucy. I’m so glad you said that. But tell me, do we have to love each other only at this season of the year? Why can’t we love each other all year long?" Lucy retorts, "What are you, a fanatic or something?"
Not fanatical but truly Christian is to love one another in our homes, in our community, in our church, wherever we may be. Practise the blessing of “peace and earth and good will toward men” not just at Christmas time, but throughout the whole year round.
