I know you're going to think different of me when I tell you this but I am listening to Christmas music right now.  Isn't the Lord wonderful! Sending His only Son for me! If ever I feel discouraged, which is often, or like I'm not doing a good job, which is even more often, I only need remember it took just One Drop of Blood.

So many Christmases have gone by for me lately where I have not felt "in the spirit" or excited and I never knew why and it has bothered me so. But, this year for some reason, I am so ready to celebrate Christ's birth and I feel such a gratitude within my heart that I want to scream it out at the top of my lungs!

Romans 5:6-8  "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Thank you Jesus for coming to this sinful world and bearing its weight! I am forever grateful to you!
