Christmas means a love of God(for sending Jesus), family, and friends. I have always loved Christmas since I was a child. My family would get together and spend time together.

I am fortunate to have always known that Jesus loves me through my mom’s wonderful testimony.

Every December 1st she would get out our “Christmas candle”, an old glass maple syrup bottle covered with candle drippings accumulated over many years. She would place a tall tapered candle in the bottle and light it each day of December as a reminder to us all that Jesus is the light of the world.

That pretty well sums up Christmas to me, and now I’ve had my own Christmas candle for several decades.

Christmas reminds me of the few Christmases that I spent at home after I had come to Christ – there were just four of them. I would lie down on the living room rug to gaze upon our Christmas tree in awe of the Lord’s “indescribable gift.” I would then worship our Lord Jesus Christ in the light of the Christmas tree at night. THAT was what Christmas means to me.

Thank you for doing this as they were so well received by me.

Thank You!!

A time to go deeper into the words of the Christmas story as we read about each of the characters who comprise the familiar story. A time to share the reactions of each and contemplate our own reaction to the fact of Christ’s birth. Are we Mary with her servant’s heart? Are we Joseph with obedient actions and trusting spirit? Are we the Wise Men or the shepherds who bowed down in worship to this king before he even was capable of performing a miracle or speaking a word to them?

It is a time to think, something we as a culture do not do much of these days. A night in which to ponder (while surrounded by sights and sounds of the season) what really happened those thousands of years ago? A night in which to be grateful for the everlasting gift given and to meditate on what it means for our future.

I am grateful to God that He permits us to continue learning and being awestruck even after 60, 70 , 80+ years of life! What a gracious Father we serve! What a wonderful Savior we have been gifted.
