It is officially Christmas Eve! All I have done today is bake, bake and bake some more. And as mom and I wrapped some last minute gifts, I had to remind myself the whole reason for Christmas. It's not about how many presents I get, or how much money is spent. It's about the the birth of Jesus Christ. God sent His son for us to be forgiven of our sins. Think about how merciful that is! God gave the GIFT of Jesus so we could RECEIVE forgiveness of our sins.
So as you open your presents, be grateful for what you have been blessed with, and remember the ultimate gift that was given to us. Christmas is a holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but it's something to be remembered throughout the whole year. As you encounter your family, friends and even strangers, I encourage you to tell them "Merry CHRISTmas." And share with them just what the reason for the season is!
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
Happy Birthday Jesus
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."[John 3:16]
