Christmas

During this season, may we remember what Christmas is about. It is not about presents or cheesy Christmas songs, Christmas parties or ice skating. It is not about family traditions or Santa Claus. Those things are blessings,but without the giver of all blessings, we wouldn't have Christmas at all. Without the cross, there is no manger. I have been wondering lately about Mary: about how she must have felt to hold God's son in her arm. I wonder how she felt to see her son die on a cross. Christ is her life, her love, her LORD, and her baby boy. I cannot imagine that intimate relationship she had with him--to know that her precious son is also her savior. May we have this same, personal intimacy with Christ. May Christ be everything to us, not only on Christmas, but every day of our lives. Jesus Christ is the best Christmas gift ever----He is the gift that never stops giving.
