Merry Christmas!

We are in the midst of the Christmas season. 2009 has been a tough year for most, if not all, of us. Some of us have lost our jobs, lost family members, or had other family crises. Financially and emotionally it's been a hard year, BUT no matter what has happened in 2009, Christmas reminds us that we are important to God. He loves us so much, that He sent the Perfect Gift to us, Jesus Christ. While I love all the Christmas fun ~shopping, baking, getting together with friends and family~, what I love about Christmas the most is WHO we are celebrating.

One of my friend's daughters wrote this to Santa. "DEAR SANTA, I LOVE CHRISTMAS WHEN YOU GET TOYS. BUT THE BEST THING OF ALL IS JESUS. HE IS THE ONE THAT GAVE US CHRISTMAS. HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS. EVERY BODY LOVES CHRISTMAS. BUT THE BEST THING OF CHRISTMAS IS JESUS. I THINK [JUST THINK] THAT SOME PEPOLE LIKE CHRISTMAS BUT HATE JESUS."

As we go about the hustle & bustle of Christmas, let's remember that the best gift we can give is the gift of God's love to our family and friends ~and strangers~.

Merry Christmas!
