Christmas is so much more than a holiday. So much more than buying and wrapping and cooking and eating. JESUS is the reason for the season.

Let us rejoice in the fact that Jesus came to earth to shine His light on the lost, to serve the faithful and to ultimately save us all from sin.

So, while we are celebrating Christmas today through the acts of giving and receiving gifts, spending valuable time with loved ones and maybe even enjoying our favorite food, (mine is bacon, hotdog and roast beef, yum!) let’s continue to let our hearts sing His praises. Let us rejoice that “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:9 NIV

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
