We wish you a very Merry Christmas, we hope you enjoy time with your family and remember to hug and kiss the ones you love if they're near by. If not, be sure to give them a call and remind them you love them and miss them.
This day is typically a hurried day as we bustle up and hustle to and fro, we never really get to settle and take the day in as we should. Try not to lose sight of today and it's meaning amongst all the excitement of Santa and PRESENTS (yes, our kids still believe...They get so excited they can barely sleep!). =-O
Yet, let's take time to remember the REAL REASON FOR THIS SEASON...JESUS CHRIST. No, I am not a theologian...Yes, I have learned Christ most likely born in mid to late Spring, that is not the point though. ;-)
Our family has a beloved relationship with Jesus Christ and we pray that many others will get to experience what we do through our relationship with Him.
Christmas is the day that has been chosen for Centuries to celebrate the birth of our beloved Saviour Jesus Christ. It is our day to reflect, remember and honor the special gift God gave us..."For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over His kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this." -Isaiah 9:6-7
And 33 years later the great sacrifice by the LORD Almighty was made when Jesus Christ died on the cross for our ransom and rose 3 days later..."For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, so whomever shall believe in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life." -John 3:16
By the LORD Almighty giving this amazing sacrifice, we have ALL been given the chance to go to heaven when our time here is done. All that is required of us is to admit we are sinners (me included), and ask the LORD Almighty to forgive us in the name of Jesus and start building your relationship with Jesus Christ. The changes will start happening in your life, for where there is light, no darkness can be!
We hope the above gives you hope and relieves any burdens or heavy hearts out there.
We truly wish you a very Merry Christmas and an abundantly blessed & prosperous New Year!!! O:-)
