Christmas time is here.....

I am journaling tonight on behalf of my sister, Heather...who has let her blog go for a while. I thought I might step in and write a few things that are on my heart, and from recent conversations I know these things have been on her heart too! The most wonderful time of year....Christmas is right around the corner and all of the last minute things on to do lists are coming to an end. Cookies have been baked, gifts have been wrapped, and the anticipation for Christmas is in the air. As things slow down I begin to reflect on what Christmas really means. I meditate on the true meaning of Christmas and how our focus for the season should be on the one who came to this Earth to be our Savior. Jesus Christ was born to save us from our sins. He came to bridge the gap between God and man, and He sits at the right hand of God pleading our case for us. He desires a deep personal relationship with us that requires daily meditation on His word and following His lead. I am so thankful that Jesus is the Lord of my life, and that He knows everything about me. He came to this Earth so long ago, and He came just for you and me. As we celebrate Christmas let us not forget the true meaning of this season. That it is not just about the gifts under the tree, but about the amazing gift God sent to us-Jesus!
