"And she shall bring forth a Son,
and thou shalt call His name JESUS:
for He shall save His people from their sins. "
~Matthew 1:21
When I think of Christmas, I think of the glowing lights, the cherished gifts, the holy star, angels on high, pure white snow, and so many more lovely things!
All of these Christmas treasures tie in to the holy birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who came as a tiny little baby that first Christmas to save us from our sins.
On that first Christmas night when the star shown bright and the angels sang, Jesus was that first Light, the Light of the World. If we receive Him, then we, too, come out of the darkness and into the Light.
The Greatest Gift of all was given in a stable on that first Christmas. Love!
In order to receive Jesus, all we have to do is ask Him to come into our hearts and forgive us of our sins. Then He washes us white as snow!
Traditionally, again this Christmas, I will be spending the day with ALL my family. I love when everyone comes home! Before any gifts are unwrapped, my Father reads the Christmas story from Luke 2 in the Bible, and everyone listens intently as we think upon that first Christmas long, long ago. Jesus is always the first gift we receive Christmas morning. Then, we take turns unwrapping gifts from under the tree... appreciating the time together, the presents given, and enjoying the moment. Also, in my heart... I'll be remembering Christmases past and treasuring all of the precious memories - in the midst of making new ones!
My hope for all who visit here... is that you have a joyous Christmas- no matter where you are. My prayer is that you will find grace, comfort, and peace in the love of Jesus!

Silent night, Holy night,
All is calm, All is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, Holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, is born!
Silent night, Holy night,
Son of God, Love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
