Merry Christmas

Ive been pondering a lot lately on Christmas, the true meaning of it all. So often in life we get distracted by the glitz and the glam of it all, the lights, hot chocolate, the presents....but when it all comes down to it the most important is the gift given to us out of love by our heavenly father... 

16 ¶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (New Testament, John, Chapter 3).

God gave us his son so that,  through it all, through all the distractions we could look to him, turn to him, follow him, and have everlasting life.  

Im so grateful for my savior, for the special day many years ago when he was born and i celebrate it with joy in my heart.
