Simply Jesus

I was able to mail out christmas cards this year after a couple of years of unexplainable leave from sending and spreading christmas jolly all around. I am so glad that I made my trip to Hallmark and left with a armful of christmas cards. A set of my selection read "simply Jesus" on its cover and those two words speaks volumes in our present culture. Its speaks to the commercialization and general handling of the season. It reminds me that Christmas is not about shopping nd running around like a scared hen.
It reminds me that it is not about the presents,
it is not about the carols,
it is not about the tinsels and lights,
it is not about the shopping and the sales,
it is not about good food or sweets,
it is not about any of these or more,

but simply about Jesus.

I look all around on this beautiful and blessed christmas day. It has been a wonderful day and I am thankful that for me and my house, Jesus stands at the center of it all. Without Him everything is meaningless. Lord, I am most thankful for your gift of reconciliation and salvation. I thank you for coming in simple human form so that I might become a royal priesthood. I love you Jesus, thanks for being my all in all.
