What is Christmas?
Love…
Love that knows all but loves still.
Love that brings out the best in you.
Love that gives with no expectation of return.
Love that stands the test of time.
Love that cannot be explained in words.
Laughter…
Laughter at and laughter with.
Laughter that brings tears.
Silly laughs
Belly laughs
Stress relieving laughter because of true joy.
Hugs…
Quick hugs that speak volumes.
Tear filled hugs sharing pain and loss.
Hugs that need no words.
Hello and goodbye hugs.
Hugs you want to last forever.
Food…
Cook, taste, eat, clean up, repeat
Mema, Granny, Nonni, Gammy, GG memories.
Hot cocoa and pan toast.
Old recipes
Traditions that continue when life does not.
Sleeping…
Pallets and sleeping bags
Blow up mattresses
Under cover giggles
Cousin time
Family cuddles and snuggles
Giving…
Looking all year for the perfect present.
Wrapping gifts and ripping paper
Smiles
The joy of giving.
Remembering the best gift of all.
The Message of Christmas…
The Creator’s love
His plan to save
Light of the world
A newborn babe
God in flesh
To walk this earth
Praise him for
The Savior’s birth
A sinless soul
A sacrifice
The blood of Christ
To save my life
But in this book
There is no end
He rose again
New life begins!
Do you know Him?
Have you heard?
It’s written in
God’s Holy Word.
My one desire
My greatest goal
Is to give you Jesus
In your soul
My prayer for you is for this message to find its way into your heart this season
And for your life to be forever changed! May you find peace and true joy as you make “the most important thing” the most important thing in you heart and in your home this Christmas. Make room for the Messiah has come.
