This Christmas season, I will be spending time with my family celebrating our love for each other through the exchange of gifts and the sharing of favorite holiday foods, memories, and traditions, like decorating the tree.
Most of all, however, we celebrate because of God's love for us, expressed in the gift of His Son Jesus to be our Saviour. Without Him, we could not know God personally, know of His love for us, and we could not be redeemed from our flawed human nature to be made part of His holy family.
During these holy days we call "holidays," I hope you will take time to consider His great gift to you: the free gift of unconditional love and acceptance, a place in the family of God, and an eternal home in heaven. It's so incredibly good-it's worth celebrating all year long!
Merry Christmas! Happy Holy-Days!
