Christmas is my favourite of all the holidays. I love the anticipation, the twinkling lights, the timeless carols, turkey dinners and visits from family... all of it. The best part of it all though is teaching my kids the true reason for our celebration. The birth of a small baby that would change the world forever. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord". Luke 2:11
My sister found a great sale at Walmart last week... Pampers diapers were half price! She bought some for herself but wanted to share this news of the sale with all the other moms she knew. She made it her status on facebook, allowing the rest of us to benefit from this knowledge. Just like any good news, people want to share it! Knowing Jesus has changed my life. I want to share the news!
I realized my need for a Saviour as a child. "I couldn't understand myself, for I wanted to do what was right, but I didn’t do it. Instead, I did what I hated." (Romans 7:14- New Living Translation). I was at a music event when the speaker gave a message about Jesus that touched my heart and I had the answer that I was looking for. I gave my heart to Jesus that day and have never turned from Him since. Life has had it's ups and it's downs but I now have a solid rock on which I can stand. Can't imagine going through life without HIM!
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends".
John 15:13
Wishing everyone a very, Merry Christmas!
