Merry Christmas

Family and Friends

Merry Christmas to you all !!

We are so blessed in all the gifts we give and 

receive this time of year.  The greatest of these being the reason we celebrate, Jesus Himself.

As much joy as we get from blessing one another,

I can only imagine God the Father's joy in

giving us His Son.

God the Father gave Jesus, wrapped as a present

in human form, to save us all.

John 3:16 tell us:  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

Imagine that  !!  The creator of everything wanted our 

fellowship so much, loved us so much, 

that Jesus willingly came to earth, lived perfectly, died and rose again to bring us to Himself.  

So I pray for you, my loved ones, my readers near and far,

that during all the wonderful fun and bustle of this season, 

that God warms your heart with His love

for you and that you remember the 

greatest gift of all.

Have a great holiday !!

Many of you will be surrounded by family and friends this holiday.  There will be fun and laughter, memories shared and memories made.  But there are others who are alone. They have no one to share the day with, perhaps they are widowed, perhaps they live far away, maybe in the military, separated from loved ones, or are estranged from family....whatever the reason, they will not be sharing a Christmas celebration.  For them, I pray.  I pray that they will find themselves in the presence of Jesus, who never leaves nor forsakes us, who is there with us...wherever we may be.  It is the reason He came.  Our Immanuel--God with us.  Take the time to make this day a special visit with the Lord. Sit with Him, share with Him, let Him share His love and fill you with His peace.  I pray you will find His arms around you this day.  And I pray you will know how much He loves you.  Have a blessed Christmas.
