Our Daughter Sarah and Eva Marie
Ah, Christmas. It is a time of excitement that far outweighs any other time of year. As the day approaches the excitement builds. For most it is simply excitement about giving and receiving gifts. There is much more to Christmas than that. Christmas is the celebration of God's great love for us. He loved you so much that He sent His one and only Son to this earth.
The Baby Jesus grew and lived just like you. He was tempted to do wrong, but never did. One day about 33 years after He was born, Jesus died on a cross for all of our sin. He was rich but became poor so that we also might be rich. I once heard somebody say, "Jesus came to this place, to take our place, so that we could go to His place."
Some would say that there are just 16 more shopping days until Christmas. I would say that you can celebrate Christmas every day. Jesus can be your Savior and friend. When you open presents this Christmas, think about opening the greatest gift of all. The Bible says that this gift is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. You open this by admitting you have done wrong, asking God to forgive you, and accepting Jesus as your Savior and Friend. Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.
I am also excited about visiting my children and grandchildren via Skype and in person. Sarah and her Husband, Tim just had a baby girl. Her name is Eva Marie and she is a beauty.
Merry Christmas.
