CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS
I love this time of year. I love all the baking, planning, decorating and getting together with friends and loved ones. It is a magical time of year. It is filled with joy and peace. It makes me want to sing Christmas Carols, even though I can’t sing at all, but that doesn’t stop me. It is just a special time.
Jesus, God’s Ultimate Gift
It also makes me so thankful for all our blessings. We are so richly blessed with material things and Spiritual as well. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish. That is the ultimate gift. Praise God!
We also have Emmanuel, God with us. It is truly hard for me to comprehend that Jesus would leave His throne in Heaven and become a man. Think about it. What great love is this? Think of the sorrow and suffering He encountered while on earth. Think of the humiliation and agony of death on a cross. He did it all because He loves each and every one of us.
We are so richly blessed and loved we should sing praises all day long. We should share the Good News with everyone. My life’s desire is to tell as many people as possible about the love and grace of our wonderful Savior. I want everyone to be able to share in this great joy.
As you prepare for Christmas, even though we have already discussed slowing down this year, please count your blessings. Thank God for the gift of His Son. Thank Him for loving us and showering us with His grace. Share this Good News at every possible opportunity. We don’t want anyone to miss this blessing.
