Christmas is Coming

Christmas is here and as we all prepare for one of the most beautiful days of the year I want to share what this day means to me. 

To me its more than just having a pretty tree, more than just finding the perfect gifts for you loved ones, it goes beyond holiday parties, and yummy holiday treats. Its much more than creating the perfect holiday card and having the most festive house on the block. Theres more to it than all these fun things and theres also a reason for it all. 

Luke 2:10-11

 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

This is the day that our world was given new light, a hope for salvation. God had given us the greatest gift imaginable he gave us a Savior. We should stand up and shout our praises for this day, be proud to proclaim the good news that happened so many years ago in that little manger in bethlehem because it was on this day that Christ was Born. He is the real reason THE ONLY reason we celebrate today. He was sent to our imperfect, flawed world to save us, to show us the truest definition of LOVE.

So yes our home is dressed up for christmas, our tree is up and filled with lights, christmas gifts are bought (not wrapped yet) and cards mailed out. BUT with out Jesus being the center our our celebration of this season then there would be no point. He is the light of our world, he is the change that we all need today as they did so many years ago. So we celebrate because of him and I will forever say Merry Christmas proudly. 

 Lets come together and sing praises because the this is the day that we were given hope TRUE hope through a beautiful baby boy born to a young couple who trusted Gods plan for them completely. 

So lets get ready to celebrate the most joyous day of the year! Jesus Birthday!!
