A Christmas Wish.....

Can you remember as a child the magic of Christmas? 

...waiting for the long December month to come closer to the end... Everyday felt like an eternity.... Would Christmas ever come?

The anticipation was filled with wonder and excitement! 
There was something in the air... 

Do you remember that? 

You could feel it. 

It felt almost tangible..

I think it was 

peace on earth, good will to men!

You could see it in peoples eyes.

Everyone helping one another, giving gifts from the heart, 

singing carols and 

 loving each other.

It was the Spirit of Christ!

That is why it felt so good..

As we get older that "Christmas magic" can fade away or feel heavy because of the responsibilities that are upon us

but I think we can get it back. 

I know we can get it back with a few questions...

WHO ARE WE CELEBRATING?

What is our focus?

Where is our hearts?

Let us reflect on what truly matters during the Christmas Season.

The babe wrapped in swaddling clothes

lying  in a manger.

A Manger.

Not a palace, or an Inn, or a home...

but a manger....

Where animals lived.

 We know that there was no room for Him in the Inn...

But my question is ...do we have room in our hearts?

Room for Him?

Or is it filled with the hustle and bustle of the season? 

with burdens?

Heavy hearts and worry?

Resentment?

Grief and pain?

Can I offer a suggestion....

LET HIM IN.

Let HIM heal you!

HE has come to this world to SAVE us! 

To heal us! To help and heal our heavy over-worked hearts.

This Christmas morning I have a challenge for you.

Gather your family around the Christmas tree and before the craziness breaks loose of opening those presents... 

Bow your heads and thank your 

Heavenly Father for the blessing of His Son! 

For his Sacrifice. 

He is our Advocate. Our Deliverer. Our Savior. 

He was sent to Redeem us. 

To help us become our best self. 

He is our everything. 

We should have gratitude in all things..

As we allow HIS Spirit to permeate our heart and homes we shall have a magical Christmas indeed.

After all, it is not about the presents

but about HIS PRESENCE in our lives!

That is our Christmas Wish to you all!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
