Christmas is about love.
Christmas is about family and friends.
Christmas is about giving.
Christmas is about sharing.
Christmas is about Jesus.
And I can't help but think of Easter as we look to Christmas. We can't have one with out the other. In one we have the birth of hope.
In the other we have the hope of LIFE!
Take the time to count your blessings. Hug your loved ones. But never neglect the reason for it all. If you have never put much thought into Jesus this time of year I encourage you to do so.
We are all sinners who have been making mistakes every day of our lives but the hope is in the face of a precious baby born in a manger. The hope of a Savior who would one day take my sin upon himself and hang on a cross so that his blood would flow to cover them. A Savior who would walk through Hell itself and find Satan and give him a knock out blow, taking back the keys to death! In Christ, in the baby in Mary's arms, in the boy who helped his Daddy build furniture, in a teen who dared to teach the Priests, in a man who walked on water and turned water in to wine and fed 5000 with just a few loaves of bread and a few fish. And He loves you. Right where you are with all of your baggage, He loves you!
This is where I put my hope. This is where my mind goes to this time of year.
And my hope will forever endure.
