I’m up in the middle of the night. The house is silent, and all is dark except the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree. Ahhh, is one of my favorite moments of all time. (right up there with the grandbabies giggling) A moment to just sit in the dark. A moment to reflect, count my blessings and experience peace.
And there He is. Do you see him? Front and center, under the tree, surrounded by gifts of love. Jesus.
Jesus, my savior. Jesus, my rock. Jesus, my shelter. Jesus, the light unto my path. Jesus, my father. Jesus, my friend. Jesus my provider. Jesus my strength. Jesus, my hope
I sing a song in my heart that I remember from years ago.
“Oh how he loves you and me. Oh how he loves you and me. He gave His life, what
more could He give? Oh how He loves you, Oh how He loves me..Oh how He loves
you and me.”
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10 NIV
Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and, Happy Birthday Jesus.

Amen.
