I hope that you have a very merry Christmas! Sometimes it may seem cliche, but CHRIST really is the true 'reason for the season'! So let's make sure to take time aside from all of the unique celebrations / festivities with our loved ones (or yes, even with just ourselves) to wish our LORD a very merry Christmas too! Let's thank the LORD for all that He does for us personally and for humankind, not just one or two days out of each year, but EVERYDAY of our lives!
You've probably heard "The Christmas Story" read at your Church, on TV / movies that you've watched, with your fam, etc. already, but let's also take time aside over the next week to read the various accounts of the origins of Christmas in the Bible, for ourselves. The books / chapters of Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2 in the Bible give us the 411!
Whether our Christmas celebrations / festivities are 'picture perfect' or not, aside from whether we receive or give 'perfect gifts', tree or no tree, let's make sure that the 'Spirit of Christmas'--the Holy Spirit of God, lives in our heart and through our life all year long! This is the best 'b-day gift' that we could ever possibly give to our LORD Jesus Christ!
Many new surprises are coming up in ITTland! We love you girls soooo much and please do remember that God loves you 100%, 24/7, 365 days a year...not just 'during Christmas'! (smile!)
