Christmas is coming! What does that mean for you & your family? Does it change with each year? Does it hold the same wonderful traditions? Are you celebrating the night of our Saviour’s birth? If so how?
This year is the same for us, yet different…with our extended family’s health issues right now, it makes this Christmas more precious to me. God’s gift of life, that Christmas night so long ago, gave to us the most wonderous gift; A Saviour, that would save us all from satan’s power when we were gone astray….Only a Saviour, whose mercies are new every morning, could love a people like me. It’s true, as much as I want to be a “Jesus Girl”, I mess up royally! I’m with Paul, apostle Paul, when he said, “what I want to do, I don’t, what I don’t want to do….I do!” My only saving grace, is literally that; A Saviour that forgives, when I ask, He forgives, makes me feel good about being me again…
I love Christmas! I love the tree, the decorating, the songs, even the shopping! Looking for that just right gift that will make someone smile :0) I love the way most of our songs point us to the Saviour, His most wonderous gift of His Son!
As much as I would love a white Christmas, I have the practical side, that does not want anyone to driving in the snow…I want all save & sound & with the people they love at Christmastime. So, give extra hugs at Christmas, be lavish with your love, love with abandon, give of your time, treasure & talents. Share Christ’s love with others…
For God so love the world….that’s you & I, a perfect reason to celebrate!!
Love to all,
M
