Have you received the Greatest Gift?
The true meaning and spirit of Christmas is about the birth of God's Son, Jesus, and how He came to earth to give us love, joy, hope, and peace!
That gift doesn't change the day (or days) after Christmas! For those who know Jesus, we continue to celebrate in our hearts the fact that we are loved and have hope for the future.
Just as children are still playing with the presents they received on Christmas Day, we can continue to unwrap the Greatest Gift every day!
Even when the Christmas lights, trees, and all the holiday decor come down, Jesus will still be here. We are never alone.
Christ loved us so much - He came to earth as a little baby and ultimately, died on the Cross for us!
If you ask Jesus into your heart and ask forgiveness of your sins, you will receive the ultimate Gift, eternal life with Him!
May we all continue to seek Him each day, just as the Shepherds followed the star until they found the Christ Child.
Sinner's Prayer:
"Oh God, I know I am a sinner.
I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross.
I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me.
I now receive Jesus as my Savior.
I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins,
the gift of salvation and everlasting life,
because of Your merciful grace.
In Jesus name, I pray...
Amen."
God's Blessings to you all!

Amen! -Maria
ReplyDeleteThank you for this reminder. I really needed this today. I can’t stand how people can shut it off so quickly. Why can’t they leave the lights and everything up until, at least, after New Years Day?
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on this! It seems so many people don't understand that NOW is the Christmas season, not the days leading up to Christmas. And that so many people do not understand that the 12 days of Christmas are the days between Christmas and Epiphany, not the 12 days leading up to Christmas! The radio station here that played Christmas music 24/7 beginning in November has already shut it off. It's nice knowing how so many of us will continue celebrating the season for many days yet!
DeleteMark 25, I've discovered the same thing with the Christmas radio station I've been listening to during the week. KLove had all Christmas during the weekends, but during the week, we turned elsewhere, and now the Christmas songs are over there. Ughhh!!! I'll just have to play my own now. Thankfully, I have a bunch of my favorites downloaded.
DeleteMerry Christmas & Happy New Year!!! Net
Thank you for this beautiful day after Christmas message, Net! I’m so thankful we both love Jesus! ❤️🎄
ReplyDeleteAllie B, Me too!!! I'm so thankful for His incredible LOVE for all of His children! :)

Glory to God! Thank You for saving me Lord.
ReplyDeleteYes. Christ died for my sins...I'm born again
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful Net! There is no greater gift than salvation and hope in Jesus Christ!!
ReplyDeleteAbigail, AMEN to that!!! JOY to the world!!! :)
DeleteBlessings & Happy New Year! Net
Will there be any Daysprings Hallmark movies in 2024?
ReplyDeleteChris, I certainly hope so, and based upon the success (in ratings) for their latest Day Spring movie, I have a feeling there could be another one around Easter again and most likely, Christmas next year!
DeleteBlessings to you in the New Year, Net
Amen!! We're all just sinners saved by His amazing grace! Thank you for a lovely post Net!!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, Thank you for this sweet message and for being such a dear friend!
DeleteGod bless you, Honey! Net
Amen !! Dear God bless us all
ReplyDeleteThings have been so busy for me lately that I have not visited this site as much, but I am grateful for you Net and all the believers here. Thank you for sharing your faith with the world. Your message is needed now more than ever.
ReplyDeletekitkat, I completely understand; the Christmas season is such a busy time - you have to soak up all the special time with family while you can. So appreciate you stopping in to leave this lovely message and sharing God's amazing love! :)
DeleteBlessings to you and yours in 2024! Net

Oh, Jim... That line in "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" always sticks out to me, too, every time I hear Morgan say it. December 26th can be the saddest day, but now we have the joyful anticipation of waiting and preparing for Christmas again next year!!! :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas (Every Day!) & Happy New Year!!! Net
Beautiful message Net! I agree with all of you, the magic of Christmas just gets turned off so quickly nowadays. I’m sure when we step into the stores next, we will be bombarded with Valentines Day decor 😳 Everything is always so rushed. I have so many Christmas movies recorded that I need to watch, they will last me for at least a couple months I’m sure Lol Keeping the joy of the Lord in our hearts daily is how we keep the magic going ;)

Dear Net,
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your site and all of the help you give us in trying to enjoy family friendly movies! I'm not sure if I ever mentioned before that I work overseas. So, I end up downloading all the movies. Consequently, it's hard to know much about the movies based on just the description alone. Many times, I check your site, along with Pluggedin.com and IMDB. It's frustrating when I don't find any reviews and I just go ahead and watch the movie and be caught off guard with all sorts of non-friendly agendas! I'm especially frustrated with Hallmark who has totally abandoned any hesitation to show same sex characters kissing on screen! I would totally avoid their movies, were it not for them including other amazing movies, such as Miracle in Bethlehem, PA! It seems to me that Hallmark doesn't want to fully lose their core viewers who desire to see family friendly content! I just wish they would not embrace the Woke agenda at all! Well, enough venting! I just want to thank everyone on this site for their reviews and reinforcing my belief in our conservative values!
God bless you all!
Jeff
Jeff, It is such a blessing to hear from you - from across the world! Wow! It's touching to know, that even across these many miles, we share the same values.
DeleteI truly appreciate you leaving this message and letting us all know how much you enjoy reading through the reviews here. That is such an encouragement to me, and I'm sure it also encourages and blesses others who have faithfully shared movie reviews throughout the Christmas season.
I also wholeheartedly agree with your statement regarding Hallmark. I pray they won't eventually, completely abandon their viewers, like you and me, who enjoy family-friendly films with faith content that highlights the true meaning of Christmas!
You are definitely among friends here! :)
God's Blessings to you in the New Year, Net
