Christmas: Thank You Jesus!

When we find a moment in our busy days to really think about Christmas, it’s overwhelming, isn’t it? The joy of it. The gratitude that fills our hearts 🙂

Jesus came. And if only one human being existed, He would still have come. That is how much He loves us! Truly, I don’t think I could have. Honestly, perhaps I would be willing to do that for my family, but for a complete stranger?

But Jesus did, and would. Because He loves us!

A baby in the manger became the greatest King ever born! Our King. Our Lord. Our Friend. And He brought to us a Love and Compassion greater than we have ever known. Or ever will. That alone is something to be grateful for you!

We love Jesus, because He loved us First. And by His example, He showed us how.

A teenager in North Carolina created a sign to Thank Jesus. You can read his story here: Thank You Jesus Signs. You can put one in your yard this Christmas. Don’t be afraid to Thank Jesus-Because Jesus wasn’t afraid to Save us 🙂

All I Need For Christmas :)

As we begin our Christmas “rush” to shop, albeit more on line this year, I couldn’t help but think about the question, “what do we really need for Christmas this year?”

And the answer is so simple, and it’s free! All we really need to celebrate Christmas is our Lord. Because really, Christmas is about Christ.

It’s about the great Love He has for us. That He would leave Heaven and come down to earth-for us!

Is there really any greater love? Do we really need anything else? And what can we give to Jesus this Christmas?

We can give-us :). And that’s really all Jesus wants 🙂

A Holy Life

“His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.’-Matthew 25:23

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God’-Matthew 5:8

“Choose you this day whom ye will serve…but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”.-Joshua 24:15

We are all called to it, but what does it mean to live a Holy Life?

A life filled with Worship and Praise for God.  A life filled with Thanksgiving for all God has done for us, and for His Forgiveness.  A life of Prayer.  Time spent reading God’s Word. Obedience.  Putting God First.  Sharing the Good News of Christ.  Living out the Holy Spirit’s Gifts and Sharing them with others.  Sharing our Faith, even when it’s hard or costs us.  Loving God with our whole heart and soul, and Loving each other!

They are all part of a Holy Life.  We just need to live it ?

Thank you Jesus for giving us the ability and chance to live a Holy Life!.
