This Christmas season is coming. You see red and green in every house, you hear carols sung at every door, you taste eggnog or sparkling cider through out this season, the smells of peppermint candy canes and cold biting at your nose, the feel of a fresh tree or ripping open all your presents. Everyone has memories of Christmas with that fantastic toy you got and played with for the next couple weeks before wishing for a new one. The memories are great! But I wonder if you remember what happened that spring late one night, in a small barn surrounded by animals. A precious child was born. Although he was just a newborn baby he was infinitely the most important being to walk this earth. He was the only one to bring us eternal life so we could go back to our heavenly family. I know I have always had a hard time remembering this with all the commercial excitement to get new toys. I hope we all remember what this day is really for, a child in a manager who shepherds worship and wise men seek out. What are you willing to give to Jesus this Christmas?
