Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year. This is especially true when we realize that it’s not about giving and receiving gifts or having a good dinner with family and friends. Although those things are good, we know that Christmas is about the most amazing miracle ever to occur in human history; the coming of the son of God to earth to reconcile human beings with their Creator and Father. This is not a fairy tale about a baby but about a living God sending His son to the earth on a rescue mission for his beloved bride. Therefore, it is essential that we keep Jesus Christ at the very center and heart of our Christmas celebration.
My prayer is that during these days we all can take a moment to thank God for the opportunity he has given us to spend time with our loved ones. I encourage you to take time to thank God for the silent moments cherished, the victories experienced,the losses endured, the kind words presented, the songs sung, the games played, the stories told, the little kisses offered. Every moment with your loved ones matters not only for the present but for eternity.
