As we prepare for Christmas in a week, I know that it is difficult to not get caught up in all of the hustle and bustle of the holiday. Yes, it is wonderful to give and receive gifts. Yes, it is wonderful to spend time with family. Yes, it is wonderful to have good things baking in the kitchen. But, be sure to not get forget the real reason we celebrate Christmas. We celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This verse is incorporated into one of my favorite songs by Handle that is sung at Christmas. It always puts me into a festive, worshipful mood during the holidays.
So true my friend. Was just thinking that while at church today. He is the real reason we even celebrate Christmas!
