• Nov. 28, 2005 - Things I look forward to at Christmas...................

Telling everyone I speak to “Merry Christmas” because it IS!

Seeing even the grumpiest old fogies with renewed hope and anticipation and joy as they are reminded once more about the “old old story” of a babe in a manger.

Watching older adults acting like children againJ

All the holiday lights- which cause me GREAT JOY and remind me that JESUS is the light of the world and HE charged us with being salt and light in this world.

SNOW….I don’t know why…it just completes the picture J

The Music….why can’t we sing Christmas Carols all year long?

I really get in to the giving thing…..stalking the person (in a good sort of way) to find out the perfect gift and all seeing their pleasure---seeing them use the gift and so on…..Christmas is really all about giving….God gave His only Son so that we’d be saved…..

THE FELLOWSHIP of believers all year long because of not because of the Christmas gifts but HIS gift – HIS SON not because of the trees but because HE died on a tree to give us life. Not because of the getting gifts but because HE gave himself as an offering so that we could have life…

GOD is so GOOD !
