Followers (of Christ),
You do of course have the expert recognition of the language of Greek, right? Maybe one or two of you out of mega-thousands of readers of this blog don't know Greek (a Biblical era language that still survives inside Google Translate), so we will tell you right now the title meaning.
1.-HD is US English abbreviation for "Holy Days" (Holidays).
2.- ∞ is a number symbol for eternity called lemniscate.
3.-Yet, ιερές μέρες για το άπειρο is Greek for "holy days for infinity".
Many of you just finished the first of your holiday meals on Thanksgiving and before you finished picking your teeth after dessert, had a forward looking thought ahead to Christmas already. One bible verse covers it all for both eternal Thanksgiving of Christ, and Christmas of the Christ child gift who gives us that eternal life...
Behold, the crux of the message this Sunday is 2 Corinthians 9:15 King James Version (KJV)
Wait A Minute, 8 Words To Describe All ∞ Eternity?
Yes. 8 words describes all eternity this holiday as found in the 8 words bible verse of 2 Corinthians 9:15. This short verse contains both Thanksgiving and Christmas in it's 8 short words. It began our Thanksgiving when Paul says "thanks be unto God". It "ends" (but doesn't really actually "end") with Christmas when Paul wrote of "His unspeakable gift" that is eternal, and eternal life through Jesus Christ who as we know, ....bounced right out of the nativity manger, got busy, and converted the cross into a wooden launching platform of grace and eternal life for us all for all eternity.
So Unspeakable By A Retail Door Greeter That He Is Indescribable
In our featured bible verse that describes "his unspeakable gift", unspeakable translates from a word used here for the first time ever in the language of Greek. To describe the riches given to us by Jesus Christ, there actually was not a proper fit of a word Paul had, and he actually "invented" the word unspeakable to apply to what actually means "indescribable". To mean "Jesus is a gift so good, so great, so wonderful that He really can't be described".
When looking at "the gift" in understanding what we have in Jesus, our Thanksgivings make sense why we are eternally thankful for what we have in Jesus. The way we structure our Holidays in America, we give thanks and then look to the manger and nativity scene at Christmas as to what we give thanks for.
Truly, he deserves our thanksgiving for all that He has given us in Jesus, and if you be poor as so many in Custer County and Fremont County Colorado (and your local areas too) are at Thanksgiving and Christmas, realize Jesus became poor, so we in turn, may be rich in him....to whom we are thankful for his gift.
2 Corinthians 8-9 King James Version:For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
His abundant love is foundation of our Thanksgiving, leading to the indescribable gift of eternal life....
So....One Part Thanksgiving, And One Part Christmas Is Eternal Life and Praise Forever?
Yes. We do think it really is just that simple. We received a gift, we will live forever, and should praise and give thanks forever too. That is the irony of the eternity and infinity symbols, in being like two elements to the gift we are grateful for eternally, because it (Gods son) gives us the eternal life to begin with.
The way out of that left hand curse mess is found right in Matthew 6:3-4 "But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
If you do do gift giving this year, try to mimic the pattern of Christ who gave the most to the poorest, and he made them the richest in him for you to be blessed. And of those who do not have fiscal resources to give this year (and we do know what that is like), give the most gift from your heart of the greatest of the riches, of love, praise and peace and you will be richer in his Kingdom of Heaven than you ever thought possible.
The Holy Days, and indeed, for all eternity as told to us in only 8 words and one verse.
Blessings,
MMM

| The infinity symbol ∞ (sometimes called the lemniscate) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity. Now, "how weird" you might think. Yet on Thanksgiving and Christmas you lay out ribbon's and wreaths, and the word lemniscate is from Greek meaning "ribbons", that is ironically eternally ornate to the eternal gift of Jesus Christ. "lēmniscātus" meaning "decorated with ribbons", from the Greek λημνίσκος meaning ribbons. So, you see, this Ministry really does know what it is talking about when we use "weird" symbols, "weird" words and "weird" phrases directing you back to Christ. Now every-time you see a red ribbon at Christmas, you will remember "eternal" "ribbon" and "Jesus Christ" and blame us for it as it is our own little secret the Wal-Mart greeters saying "seasons greetings" instead of Merry CHRISTmas can't take away from us (ho ho ho...). We tricked them all didn't we? Now even atheist and opposing non-peaceful religion's are wearing and showing ribbons about Jesus Christ! (ha ha ha...) |

| This symbol for infinity is called "absolutus infinitus", which when speaking of the Christian millennium of Christ for a thousand years, some believe a variant form of a Roman numeral for 1,000 (originally CIƆ, also CƆ) also plays some head games on your perception of how bland you may have thought Christ was. A thousand years, then eternity is more than just a symbol. You get to wear it as Seal of The Holy Spirit to be marked in your mind for his Kingdom,...forever. The symbols even look like two halves or two parts....a gift...and us being thankful. |
Yes. We do think it really is just that simple. We received a gift, we will live forever, and should praise and give thanks forever too. That is the irony of the eternity and infinity symbols, in being like two elements to the gift we are grateful for eternally, because it (Gods son) gives us the eternal life to begin with.
Ok....So, We Were Given A Gift In Jesus We Are Thankful For, We Now Begin To Gift Others?

| Poster for the American film From the Manger to the Cross (1912). A great show, and even better in real life. The gift we have in Jesus Christ from that "banned" nativity scene the prior White House Administration banned, is being restored by the current White House Administration. We don't know about you, but that to us is also a gift we are thankful for. From that manger, to the cross, is the greatest gift we have ever gotten, and really, we are commanded to share it. |
Now, ...soon enough you will walk by a donation bell ringer near Christmas as you exit the store and pretend to be looking the other way or looking intently for your car in the parking lot. Shut your eyes even and pretend to be praying so you don't seem like you are ignoring the bell ringer asking for donations to conceal the fact you really are ignoring the bell ringer. Yet, Proverbs 28:27 warns us that "He who gives to the poor will never want, but he who shuts his eyes will have many curses." as the "left hand curse"....but do not fear, you can still redeem your heart before God, and realize he left us a way out of that mess...
The way out of that left hand curse mess is found right in Matthew 6:3-4 "But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
If you do do gift giving this year, try to mimic the pattern of Christ who gave the most to the poorest, and he made them the richest in him for you to be blessed. And of those who do not have fiscal resources to give this year (and we do know what that is like), give the most gift from your heart of the greatest of the riches, of love, praise and peace and you will be richer in his Kingdom of Heaven than you ever thought possible.
