Wow! What a difference a year makes. I have enjoyed this Christmas season immensely more than any I can remember in recent years. This despite two herniated discs that have have me hobbling like an 80 year old man for over a month.
I’ve been thinking a lot this week about how much joy I have this Christmas and one thing keeps popping into my mind: Isn’t that the way it should be? As Christians, Christmas and Easter should be cause for unspeakable joy. Christmas is the time when we celebrate the fulfillment of God’s promise to send us a Savior.
What an awesome God we serve that HE would send His son as an atonement for our sins. We did not have to ask Him to do it, nor did we have to do anything to earn it. It was simply out of His amazing love for us that He sent His son.
When we think about God keeping His promise and what it ultimately means to each of us as Christians, how can we not be joyful?!
As a side note, I don’t know what your political preferences are, but Mike Huckabee had a great comment this week. He was asked about the atheists more or less trying to hijack our holiday at Christmas. He replied that if atheists wanted their own holiday, he would suggest April 1st.(April Fool’s Day for all you blondes:) ) Great One!!
Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless you.

Jeff you are not hobbling around like an 80 year old; you are just whining about it like a little girl! just kidding… I am so thankful for the difference that a year can make. It is so great to acknowledge that “To God be the Glory”.
