As Christmas approaches it's easy to get so concerned with presents, parties, decorations, and traditions. We often forget this is a time to focus on God's gift to us. I encourage you to take time in prayer and meditation on God's word with a thankful heart remembering that Jesus came to teach us. He also came to give us forgiveness, salvation, and make a way for us to have a personal relationship with Him through the Holy Spirit. I am in awe that the Creator would come down as a babe to later lay down His life to rise again in three days. There is no greater love. Let us celebrate this gift year round and not lose it during this Christmas season.
