On the second day on my Christmas vacation …

I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas.  Just a few more days and a few more Christmas parties.  As a special treat, we’re going to see our

Ohio

Pastor Mark and Anna and spend a couple nights with them.  We’ll also be able to catch up with some old friends and make some new friends.

Of course there will be wrapping paper and bows and tape and all that stuff to take lots of pictures of and journal the memories.  What a great time to make new memories and remember old traditions.

What a fabulous time to remind those around you of the miracle of Christmas.  Maybe someone close to you celebrates Christmas but doesn’t understand the gift of salvation.  It’s the one gift that can not be purchased, but is given freely by God, the Father.  You see, God the Father, sent His Son, Jesus, Who is also God, to bear all the ugliness of sin and pay the price which is death.  Jesus died the most horrible death imaginable to pay the price for forgiveness of all our sins.  This is the free gift that is available to us just by asking for it.  How simple is that?  Thank you Jesus.
