OK I confess, I don’t celebrate the commercial side of Christmas. Although I produce handmade Christmas cards for all my friends and family every year, as a way to remind them that I am thinking and praying for them, and that I love them, I don’t put up a tree, decorate my house, shop for gifts, or otherwise participate in what has become a idolatrous worship of commerce during the Christmas season.
Sometimes the hand of God is so obvious in a situation that it doesn’t make any sense *not* to talk about it. Sometimes people and entities are so tuned into Jesus and to walking the Kingdom Walk that not talking about their existence violates Kingdom rules. Some of those folks have their own promotion engines, and plenty of press, so I let those folks do their own public relations. But this week, I have experienced a local business and family that has been quietly, faithfully, generously walking the Kingdom Talk for 50 years. They’re not “fancy folks,” but they’re actively blessing the communities they serve every day. They are the Lee Family and the Simmons Motel.
