Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas. There once was a savior who came to earth to be born, live, die, and rise again for all of our sins, for all of our sorrow, for all of our pain so that we too could be part of his fold. Won't you receive him today? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas Time Is Here!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Christmas is my favorite holiday out of all the holidays there are. Why? Because first it's when we celebrate Christ's being born. And it's a time of miracles, good cheer. When strangers are nice to each other for no reason at all. It's a time of hope, faith, love. When good things happen just for no reason at all. It's a time for family, sharing, caring. And also a time for snow!

I love singing Christmas songs, watching Christmas movies, seeing Christmas lights. It all feels my heart with happiness. I love seeing snow fall. Not like a blizzard, or sleet. Just simple snow where it doesn't stick on the road or cause problems, just when it's white and pretty to look at.

I love the cold, building a fire, drinking hot cocoa. And having a Christmas tree. I love when my mom insists on reading the stories her father read to her. The one about the trees, the little one or the donkey, and the story about the candy cane. Even though I could probably tell them from memory. Still hearing them again is nice.

Most of all I love feeling like God is close and it's a time for the whole world to see it. The doubters can't deny the good cheer and happy feelings. They can't run and hide on God's big day.

Merry Christmas all and Happy New Year!!

Don't spend a lot on presents and material things, but more importantly make God the center of your day!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!! Yes I said it, I didn't say Happy Holidays, Joy to the world, Peace on earth, Merry Holidays, whatever. I said MERRY CHRISTMAS!! It seems to me that people are more and more trying to take the CHRIST out of CHRISTmas. Why, I do not know. I guess people on this earth have got so far away from God that they have forgotten what Christmas really is about. Sure it's about family and being together, but that's NOT the reason for the season! The true meaning of Christmas can be found in Matthew chapter 2 There came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him. The meaning of Christmas can be found more than 2,000 years ago in a manger in Bethlaham. Jesus was born into this world to come to the earth that He created to live and die for all of us. So this Christmas when you see a tree or presents don't think about all the gifts and fun things that goes along with the Holiday, think about the baby that left His throne way up in Heaven to come to a earth that He created to save a people that He created; from their sins, Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas!

Merry Christmas all,

Love,
