Merry Christmas!!!

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace". Isaiah 9:6-7
What is the real meaning of Christmas for you? Is about going out and frantically finding that last gift for that special person that you just have not been able to find for them, or is it about making sure that you get the gift that you have wanted so badly? If this is the reason you are celebration Christmas maybe you should take a look into your heart. Christmas is not about all the rushing out to buy that perfect gift, or making sure that you get all the gifts that you want, instead it is about the gift that is out there for each and everyone if us to receive! Some of you may ask well what gift is that? It is the gift of Jesus, the gift that God sent us many, many years ago. He is there for all of us to receive him. Instead of focusing on the gifts that you want look at the gift waiting fro you to receive it the gift of God's ONLY Son Jesus. That is the reason that we celebrate Christmas. God sent his only son to earth, to show us that we are all sinners, but mostly he sent his son Jesus to earth to die a death so that we have forgiveness from our sins. 
This Christmas season I am thankful for that gift, and through myself and others I am thankful for his gift of Jesus because if it was not for him we would not celebrate Christmas. 
I have put my focus on him this Christmas season and realize that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and not about all the gifts and presents. Take the time to really think about what Christmas is about this year and that it is not about all the gifts but the ONE gift that can be received by all and that is the gift of Jesus! 

Luke 2:11

"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you: he is Christ the Lord".

Matthew 1:21

"She shall bring forth a son,

and thou shall call His name Jesus;

for He shall save His people from their sins."
