Main Street Window Shopping

by PamFord Davis

How many remember the days of Christmas window shopping on Main Street? Scores of shoppers once filled Main Street America storefront sidewalks. Over time, America’s villages, towns and cities have changed.

Progress comes with a cost. Before, shoppers came out in large numbers; while many had little cash to spend, that did not deter them. Window shopping was free. After making out their Christmas lists they ventured inside department stores, their 5 & 10 cents stores or pharmacy gift counters. Shoppers paid with cash or credit offered by store owners. Credit card and Internet shopping had not yet become the norm.

I wonder how many shoppers today consider the true meaning of Christmas.

Do you?

“For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of armies will accomplish this (Isaiah 9:6-7 NASB).

Rejoice; God is with us!

“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they shall name Him Immanuel,’ which translated means, ‘God with us. ‘And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he named Him Jesus (Matthew 1:23-25 NASB).”
