Christmas Letter
This is the of time giving and receiving, but looking back over the past year, this brief page cannot contain all the gifts (material and otherwise) that we’ve been given. I’m not quite sure how we ended up with all these blessings and gifts. We certainly did not earn them or deserve them.
It reminds me of a very important fact of this season: the human race was given the ultimate gift a little more than 2000 years ago. God himself came to earth as a baby human boy and gave his life as an example of how to live and as a sacrifice: death on a Roman cross to take the punishment we all deserve for what we have done to ourselves, to each other, and therefore, to God.
He offers the gift of peace and union with God if we would just admit we need it, believe that he is who he said he is, and accept the gift. This is the greatest gift that anyone could ever get. Indeed, it is the only one anyone really needs, and certainly one we don’t deserve and cannot earn.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to my baby boy and the wonderful family he has given me.
sorry, I don’t mean to embarrass you.
