Christmas Gift

Christmas in our family is celebrated in a big way. What I mean is, the importance of it because it means remembering the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. And not necessarily the party aspect of this holiday, although we do rejoice in this flesh of ours by eating good food, decorating, giving gifts to each other in our family. It's all done with the perspective that our Lord made it all possible for our salvation and provision for us here while on this earthly journey.

Christmas eve, I eyed my package under the tree and I kept asking my hubby what he had bought me... Well..He said, "You'll just have to wait until morn to find out..." and he chuckled away. My children are all tempted to see what's in their package...my hubby and I give them the same answer ....O.K....I tell you I've the best kids, patiently after the family altar we all went to bed.

Christmas morn is here, my hubby put on beautiful music and the children woke up to the beats of the tunes, eagerly anticipating their gifts. My dear hubby led the devotion, from Isaiah where he had prophesied during 740-680 B.C , the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in Isaiah 9:6,7 and 53:6.
Israel had to wait, the world had to wait for the birth of our Lord....the best gift to mankind....I thought how small a time we had to wait to open our earthly gifts and how small the gifts were and yet we felt the wait is too long and we are excited at the thought of the gifts we are going to recieve...How much more excited and rejoicing we should be on knowing that the Great God of the universe sent us His Beloved Son for us. I am truly rejoicing and grateful for Christmas!!!

Greatest Love

It's Christmas time and I am so grateful for having to come to know our Lord as my Savior, most of all for His Love towards us sinful mankind. What really amazes me is this Great God of the universe, sustainer of everything, chose of His own will and pleasure to be given of himself as a babe into this insignificant earth. My heart is filled with praise and worship to our God, my Lord Jesus Christ.
Even though we don't see Him with our physical eyes, He has sent the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to be with us in this long earthly journey and we can really know that He is there.

I am very grateful for the freedom to celebrate our LORD JESUS'S birth.
Let us take time to remember and pray for those of our brothers and sisters being persecuted in places like Orissa, India where the extremists are planning to attack the christians on Dec. 25th.

Nothing can separate us from the Love of God.
Wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
