Merry Christmas!
For a large amount of people I know this year has been especially difficult. There are still people in my community that do not have a home for Christmas because of Hurricane Irene. My prayers go up to God to give these people peace, hope, love, and joy despite the hardships they are enduring. There have been death of loved ones, sickness, and too many problems to count, but even though it seems that there is no hope at times, at this time of year we need to realize that hope is there in the form of Christ!
That is what Christmas is all about. The HOPE of Christ! The LOVE shown in his birth! The JOY of knowing he is with us at all times and everywhere! And the PEACE that He will always see us through the hard times!
Please remember Christ this year for it is Him that is the greatest gift of all! When you are opening presents or if you are unfortunate not to have boxes to open, remember that there is one gift given to each and everyone of us that is not wrapped in pretty paper and bows. It came in a plain packaging. In a lowly manger. And was crucified for our salvation. That gift is Christ Jesus!
Please, I pray, don’t forget to accept the single most important present of all time. Salvation! It is yours for the taking. All you have to do is accept it. And in doing so may you have the best Christmas ever and truly experience Joy, Peace, Love, and Hope!
Joy to the World for the King of Kings is born!!
Merry Christmas,
