it's the time to be thankful

God has blessed us so!

Christmas time should be a time of great rejoicing for Christians. It gives us a chance (not that we shouldn't be doing this throughout the year) to reflect on the year and what God has been doing in our lives, and a time to look forward to the new year. We have so much to be thankful for! On top of which, it's the opportunity to talk to people about what Christmas means to you! A chance to talk about Jesus and what he did for us, starting with being born in a manger in Bethlehem. Many people complain about the holidays (i do too sometimes), and others will give alternate views of Christmas. With so many distractions around us, it's understandable that people can easily forget to count their blessings. But, if we continue in the word of God, and rely upon the Holy Spirit, then we can better appreciate the blessings that God has graciously allowed to flow into our lives. As you navigate the business of this holiday season, remember to count your many blessings, name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done!
