THIS is Christmas!

This is Christmas.

 

"She shall bring forth a son

and thou shall call his name Jesus;

for He shall save his people from their sins."

Matthew 1:21

***************************************************************

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!  Yes, the gifts and food and family-time are nice, but that's not why we celebrate Christmas here.  We celebrate the gift that God sent down as a little baby that was born to a virgin. He entered the world not with fanfare, trumpets, and dignity; He was born into a dirty, smelly stable with animals quietly looking on as the greatest gift that God has ever given us entered the world as a small babe.

This year Jordan and I hope you know that peace that only comes from truly knowing the Lord and knowing that the Lord of Heaven that sent a little baby to Earth and made everything else loves you beyond what you can imagine.  We live in awe that He has forgiven all of our sins, wiped our slates clean, and desires more than anything to know and just love on US!  Amazing!

*And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. (10) And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. (11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (12) And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”  Luke 2:9-12
