I wanted to wish everyone all over the world, Merry Christmas!! It is such a privelage and honor to be alive for another year to celebrate Our Saviors birth. It seems like each year I fall more in love with Jesus and Christmas becomes special each year. Let us remember the true reason for Christmas and that is CHRIST!!
God loved the world so much that he gave his ONLY Son to die for us so that we might have eternal life. Would you be able to give your child up for mankind? How about mankind that didn't even acknowledge him? This shows True Love and we need to learn "Agape" love. We honestly feel that we know what real love is but the true definition of it is: God. True love is doing something because you love someone so much and doing EVERYTHING and not expecting one thing in return. All you do is keep giving love because you are love. This is a type of love that is hard for us to wrap our heads around and understand. When you celebrate Christmas this year remember what happened. Remember that The God of the Universe humbled himself and came to our level and became human. Jesus Christ walked our walk and experienced everything we experience. We have a Savior that can truly identify with us and relate to us.
We should have no problem getting close to Our Savior, because we know that he understands. Jesus Christ came down for you and for me. Jesus Christ wants you to have eternal life and wants you to help lead other souls to him. We can get in the cycle of thinking that we have all of the time in the world, when in fact we are not promised another day. We need to love like we have never loved before, and stop wasting such precious God given moments. Christmas in our society is all about Santa Claus and presents. It is our job to keep Jesus alive in our homes. We need to celebrate Jesus and what he did for mankind. I love that during Christmas time wherever you go, you hear songs about Jesus being sung all over. You hear songs about Jesus in malls, stores, restaurants, etc. My husband and I were in Barnes and Nobles, and they had Christmas music playing and I just put my head back and closed my eyes. I loved that Jesus was being sung about and people were hearing about Jesus. I am so thankful that places play Christmas music and have songs singing about Jesus.
It seems more and more today, people are squeezing Jesus out of everything. I am so thankful that Christmas music is still allowed to be played. Let us honor Jesus and celebrate HIS birthday!! I never understood why everyone gets presents on his birthday. Let us remember that it is not about presents or the deals we can get on presents. Sit down during Christmas as a family and hold hands and thank Our Savior and Bless His Mighty Name!!! Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!
