Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!

Here is the picture I took of our little sweethearts this year and wanted to share it with you!

I love the look of amazement and wonder in their eyes.

It's such a magical time of year. I pray we all remember the true meaning of Christmas and celebrate that every day of our lives.

For Christ gave His life for us, and we need to give our lives to Him.

What would you do if under your tree, gifts suddenly appeared and the tags read, 

"To: You

Love: Jesus Christ"

What would be inside? What are the gifts Christ has given to you?

What can we give to Christ in return?

Christ said, "If ye Love me keep my commandments." (John 14:15)

That means to never take the Lord's name in vain,

To LOVE thy neighbor as thyself,

Honor thy mother and father

etc.

He gave the ultimate price for us. Can't we show our love to Him by keeping His commandments and loving others as He loves us? 

It is so easy to get caught up in our day to day routines and never reach out to those around us. 

Cell phones are a wonderful tool to stay in touch, but also a great tool to keep us from seeing those around us who need our special attention and help. May we all be in tune to bless the lives of others around us every day.

I pray you ponder these things in your hearts and remember we celebrate this holiday to rejoice in Christ coming to earth, and to thank Him for His great gift and sacrifice to us.
What can we give to Christ?
