Christmas times a comin' believe it or not. Yes, I know it's just September, but Christmas will be here before we know it.
So, what do you think about when you think about Christmas? I think of many things - like how our family gets together, how our Sunday school classes put on a Christmas play, the adults in our church put on a cantata, how amazing it is to wake up Christmas morning to the kids seeing what's been left under the tree, but most of all I think about the birth of Jesus.
Without Jesus' birth, where would this world be? This year, make an effort to talk about Jesus' birth and how his coming as a baby was the the first Christmas gift ever to be given. It was given by God. And how, not only was Jesus the first gift, but how the wise men brought Jesus his first gifts of gold,
frankincense and myrrh.
Whether you choose to spend an old fashioned Christmas with your family or you choose to spend it in a church or on a corner singing Christmas carols or if you decide to spend it serving soup at a soup kitchen, remember - Jesus is the reason for the season!
