Merry Christmas


On this day before Christmas I want to wish all a very Merry Christmas.

The Fun Part of Christmas is the title of the Church bulletin for this past Sunday and the article was written by Susan Lytek and I want to share it with you.

I had finished all my shopping and cards very early that year. With everything wrapped and sent my Christmas excitement faded. I looked forward to celebrating with friends and worshiping together, but I didn't really care what I received, planning and actually giving the gifts were the fun parts. I wonder if God felt that way too. Look at all the details He put into planning His gift and revealing clues along the way. Each passing generation learned a little more until, at last. God's present was revealed. Later, Jesus explained God's plan to Nicodemus "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3"16)." Imagine God's joy when we accept His Gift!

May we all give thanks for Jesus, our gift from God.
