Christmas time reminds us of our Savior Jesus's birth!

I had moments when I struggled as a young mom, with the idea of Christmas being all about Santa Claus.  I remember thinking of how much the gifts were the only things that the boys thought about. So yesterday as I was watching these young kids get excited about seeing Santa Claus..... I realized that Santa represented excitement and fun! These children hopefully know that Santa is very gracious fellow... but also I hope and pray that every child knows the true meaning of Christmas. I hope and pray that this Christmas season is one that Christ will make himself real to each and every person in our community. I love the spirit of giving that takes place at this time of year! We  can give someone a hug, smile, or our time; whatever we are able to give is a gift.  Showing God's love to others is a gift. And Jesus gave us the ultimate gift! His life!

1John 4:9

 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
