HO!HO!HO! Everyone,

To me, Christmas is...A TIME OF REMEMBERING

Remembering the great love that God had for each and every one of us He loved us so much, that He spared not His only Son that we might be saved.

-remembering the uniqueness of
His life
His teachings
His miracles
His prophesies
His death
His resurrection

Remembering all those humble but great people surrounding the Christmas story
people like Joseph & Mary, Zacharias & Elizabeth, Anna, Simeon, the shepherds, the wise men, etc.

Secondly, to me, Christmas is...
A TIME OF LOVING

People make a special effort to be a little kinder, a little more considerate of others,
and a little more generous during the Christmas season.

They get involved in things like Christmas caroling, toys for the needy,
meals for the misfortunate, etc.

It is a time for reaching out to others with love and concern.

God so loved the world-let us never forget that!!! In all of our preaching, teaching,
evangelizing, etc. let us always remember that the motivation for all this is the love
of God for lost sinners.

He really cares about us. So should we care as He cares. So should we love, as He loves?

Greater Things Are Still To come!
