Reflections of Christmas

I've been thinking about the Spirit of Christmas.  What Christmas means and how I celebrate it.  I can't help but have warm fuzzy feelings when I look back into the past and think of my childhood.  I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas' past.  I know that back then Christ wasn't in my life like he is now but I had a loving family.


I know that Christ hasn't really been in the picture either when my kids were small but once again we had love and family.


Christmas for me now is different.  Christ is at the center of it.  Having Christ at the center makes such a difference. With Christ there is more togetherness in my life, more love and more family and a wonderful relationship with maker of my heart, thank you Lord.

Christmas time: heart of compassion, fellowship, cherishing the moments, being surrounded by God's love, enjoying the gifts of grace, joy, hope, giving, faith, and love.

Jesus is the reason for the season.  Father thank you for blessing us with your son.  You gave up your only son for our sins.  What a gift you have given....thank you Father.


The very heart of Christmas is Emanuel, God with us-with me-and with you. 


I'm wishing everyone a very joyous and blessed Christmas season.
