Christmas Eve is finally here.  I have thought alot this year about the birth of Christ from Mary's point of view.  The reason for this may be because my favorite Christmas song is "Mary Did You Know?".  I wonder if Mary knew everything her son would go through in his short life and how important he would be to the whole world?  Having a small son myself and wanting him to grow up to be a good Christian man I can imagine the dreams that Mary had for Jesus.   

Something else I have thought about the last few Christmas' is the fact that Jesus came to us knowing that He was going to suffer and die on the cross for me.  I love all the songs that talk about Jesus coming just so he could die on the cross for us.  One that I am thinking about right now is "Born to Die" by Ron Hamilton.  I just thank God for sending His Son to us to die on the cross that we can be saved.

So I wish everyone a Very Merry CHRISTmas and please remember what Christmas is really all about.
