Saturday, December 23, 2006 - Make Room At YOUR Inn...
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
Polls say about 85% of Americans say they're Christians.
Other polls say about 96% of Americans celebrate Christmas...a federally recognized holiday.
I just wish more of them realized that without Christ there can be no CHRISTmas. The greatest gift ever was God sending His only Son to be born here on earth to a mere woman, then to die an awful death on a cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
But sadly just like there was no room for Him then, for many there is no room for Him now. For many of us...even Christians, our lives are too crowded. Shopping, cleaning, preparing, cooking, baking, running, visiting, socializing, wrapping, giving, stressing...all for Christmas. Yet there is no room in our holiday...or our lives for Jesus.
To my blog friends and family...May the Lord bless you and your families abundantly this Christmas as you draw closer and make room for Him today...and everyday.

I see it in my family every year. They want to celebrate Christmas, but fall short of recognizing the true meaning of Christmas. Thanks for your thoughts, and I hope you were able to enjoy the holidays with the knowledge that God loves you beyond measure!
Blessings,
