🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 to All My Dear Family & Friends Here at It's a Wonderful Movie!!!

Merry Christmas!

My prayer is for His peace and joy to fill each of our homes this Christmas!

For myself and my family, Christmas is so much more than Santa Claus, reindeer, elves, presents, and such…
no, Christmas, as it is said in the Grinch cartoon, “Maybe Christmas, perhaps... means a little bit more!” Indeed, it means A Lot More!

Christmas is receiving the first, most holy gift ever given over two thousand years ago... our Savior, Jesus Christ, born of His mother Mary, in a manger.

"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

We decorate and light up our trees, with a star on top, in honor of that first Christmas- when the Light of the World came, to outshine all the darkness!

"O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

And gathered all above

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love

O morning stars together

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King

And Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently

The wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven.

No ear may hear His coming,

But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive him still,

The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem

Descend to us, we pray

Cast out our sin and enter in

Be born to us today

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell

O come to us, abide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel"

As we gather with family, friends, and loved ones this Christmas Season... some will be seated right next to us, while others will be ever present in our hearts and memories!

These vintage Christmas card images bring to mind cherished Christmas movies for me... family gatherings and singing Christmas carols, year after year, with friends and family! Oh the joy of Christmas is a treasure we each hold in our hearts, a gift that is ours, if only we choose to receive Him!

"Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King:
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with th'angelic hosts proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King"

The Christmas Story

Luke 2 - King James Version

2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Many Blessings to all of you who visit here
at Christmastime and all year through!

A Christmas Story

The Christmas Story

The true meaning of Christmas is the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Sometimes I know we can get caught up in the decorating, baking, shopping, bright lights, and glitter that this Christmas Season brings.

Every year I feel as if I have my own Charlie Brown moment- wondering if anyone remembers what Christmas is all about. It's such a sweet and simple cartoon, yet it means so much.

Let us all take time to remember the true meaning... that our Savior was born to save us from our sins and give us eternal life in Him.







Do you personally know the JOY of knowing JESUS?


God's Simple Plan of Salvation

I am asking you the most important question of your life....

Are you saved?

Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again.

In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again."

In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple!

"...God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute.

"God… commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30).

This repentance is a change of mind… Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin,died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected.

His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).

Whosoever includes you.

Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer….

Just say these words out loud to God and believe them in your heart:


"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."



Believe, and you will be saved.

No church, no lodge, no good works can save you.

Remember, God does the saving. All of it!

God's simple plan of salvation is this: You are a sinner. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.

Stand on God's promises. After you are saved, there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:

*Pray -- you talk to God.

*Read your Bible -- God talks to you.

*Witness -- you talk for God.

You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay.

"Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord...." (2 Timothy 1:8)

"Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).

God bless you... as you begin your walk with Him.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." ( 2 Corinthians 5:17)
