Are you ready for Christmas? For many people Christmas it seems the most stressful time of the year. Baking needs to be done, presents are bought and wrapped. The decorations are up inside the house and outside.
The wonderful part is that family get together and eat and visit with each other.
However the most important part of Christmas is still missing. The quietness of a stable where a baby was born. Not just any baby, it was Jesus, the Christ, the Savior of mankind. Do we stop and rejoice and sing with the angels 鈥淐hrist is born this day!鈥�?
Are we like the shepherds in the fields and worship Jesus, who was born in a lowly manger?
We need to stop and remember what Christmas is all about. It should not be a stressful period, but a time to celebrate with family and friends that Jesus came to this world for you and me. I wish you all a blessed Christmas and may the coming year bring you peace and joy.
