Merry.Christmas
It’s Christmas Eve. Wow, that came fast. It seems like yesterday I was worried I wouldn’t be able to eat Christmas foods because of my wisdom teeth surgery.
I love Christmas. It’s always been my favorite holiday, maybe because my birthday is so close to it, so there’s a lot of celebrating.
But this year, I haven’t been in the “spirit” of the holiday as much as I normally am. Maybe it’s the busyness of life, juggling a full time job, a social life, and ministry.
So, today I am taking the time to reflect on what Christmas means.
The overwhelming realization that God in flesh was sent to the earth to be the Savior of all mankind.
That He was born to die an unimaginable death because He loves us and wanted to be with us forever, and this was the only way to make that possible.
So today, I can wholeheartedly wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, because I know what makes this holiday so meaningful and full of joy.
My prayer is that your life is full of love, joy, and blessings during this very special time.
I leave you with the words of the angels, spoken to the shepherds who were given a privilege very few had. The privilege of seeing the Savior at his birth, lying in a manger:
“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord…Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:10-11,14
Merry Christmas
