Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have had a lovely morning, full of family and surprises and joy! I hope you’re also able to take some time today to remember why we celebrate today, why today is such a special day that should be honored.
On this Christmas throw a party for Christ! It is His birthday after all. Take a moment and really think about what you are celebrating. Are you celebrating all of the presents that you got this year? Or are you celebrating that God gave you the ultimate present and there is nothing else you could ask for? I know there is nothing that I could ask for that could make me happier. There is nothing that can be wrapped, put under the tree, or bought in a store that can compare to the joy that I have found in my relationship with Christ. It has been my favorite present, so today I am going to celebrate it! Celebrate Christ’s coming to earth as a baby, celebrate my relationship with Him and celebrate the wonderful things that He has promised to do in my future! What else could I ask for? This sounds like a joyous day of celebration to me!
On that day many years ago an angel appeared to a group of shepherds and said to them “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11) So do not fear either! This is the happiest day, celebrate it! For your Savior came to this earth as a baby, because God loves you so much He gave His son as the ultimate gift. If you want to read the whole Christmas story look at Luke 1:26-38; 46-56; 2:1-21!
A very Merry Christmas to you and may the joy of Christ be with you on this wonderful day of celebration!
*Joy of the day: spending time with my family and friends, enjoying their company and their silliness!
