Christmas

This is the season we take time out to remember the baby Jesus, sent as a sacrifice from His Father. When I remember my own son as a newborn and the overwhelming sense of love and responsibility that came with that package; I think of what the Father must have been feeling, knowing the pain his son would have to endure in this world for a people like us- completely unworthy of the sacrifice. If I had been Mary I would have begged that He choose someone else for the task- I think had she had the complete picture she might have opted out! As we celebrate the joy of giving this season, may we ponder this: The only thing worth giving is the message of the cross. Jesus past, Jesus present, Jesus future. May we meditate on this message this Christmas.

Joy to you all this Season-may it be one filled with hope.
