Luke 2: 8-11 Keeping Christmas Peter Marshall who is known to thousands through the story of his life (A Man Called Peter) is best remembered for his brilliant sermons and prayers. "Let's Keep Christmas" was one of his most memorable sermons. He wasn't in the argument over the commercialization of Christmas. That's not what he meant bv. "Keeping Christmas." What Peter Marshall prayed was that, "...more people, all of us (would) open our hearts to the wonderful spirit abroad in the world? not just on Christmas, but on every day. What a happy place this old earth could be if?oh. God, if only we would keep Christmas the whole year through." Think what it could mean to the world to keep Christmas, its spirit and its love, the whole year through! "You think of friends and loved ones who are so hard to shop for," said Marshall. "You can't think of anything they need (which is rather strange when you take time to think of it). Maybe there is nothing in a store that they need. But what about some token of love? what about love itself.. . and friendship . . . anci understanding .... and consideration . . . and a helping hand ... and a smile ... and a prayer? You can't buy these things in any store, and these are the things people need. V/e all need them. . . Blessed will they be who receive them this Christmas or at any time."
