"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we
have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace
and truth.….. For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For
the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ." John 1:14,16-17
Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth.
The birth of a Savior.
Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and celebration.
But instead, it can become a time of stress and major consumerism for one family after another.
But instead, it can become a time of stress and major consumerism for one family after another.
In a world that tells us what we "have to have",
they don't realize that we really only need one thing:
Jesus Christ.
He is The Gift that God gave to the world, A Give that never
breaks, runs out of batteries, or gets old because a new one has come out.
He is everlasting.
A Gift that brings true joy.
And I love to remember that at Christmastime.
So Merry Christmas!
And happy Monday!
