The race is on.
Christmas is 23 days away!
Oh, the frenzy!
It ALL must be done and bought and opened and baked and eaten and experienced!
Until the big day is over, chopped down and hauled off, like our Christmas tree at the farm yesterday.
But, wait!
What is Christmas all about?
Matthew 1:21, "She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save his people from their sins."
God sent His Son into the world as a baby to suffer and die for our sins so that we might be saved!
Jesus, the King and Savior of the world was born in a stable and laid in a manger. What a different scene from the glitz and gild of a department store display!
Each year we as a family are mindful to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas, but this year we're also slowing down, pulling more out of the race, declining some Christmas party invitations, so there will be more time for Christ to fill our Christmas.
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy." Matthew 2:10
