As I was thinking of what makes this holiday so very special, 4 things came to mind.
Family, friends, food and faith.
Today as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, I hope you will be spending time with your favorite family and friends. I hope your tummy will be full of the yummiest food of the season.
But most of all, I pray you will find faith in the perfect God-man, Jesus Christ. And that in the midst of your gift giving, laughter and fun, that your heart will be drawn to the only one born to bring lasting and eternal peace.
Peace between our frail, flawed humanity and a perfect God. Peace made possible by the baby born in the stable. Peace paid for by His perfect life given as a sacrifice. For you. For me. Peace.
Merry Christmas!
