Tis the Season.....
We LOVE Christmas and the celebration of Jesus' birth. To teach the kids the story in such a way for them to understand really helps keep the main thing the main thing. I don't want hustle and bustle and chaos and stress over the right gift. I want our children to have memories centered around Jesus and all He brought to us when he was born. The simplicity of the day and surroundings of His birth are worth our consideration as we approach December 25th. Mary was not at Wal-Mart buying a new flat screen for Joseph so that he would have something to do during the midnight feeding of baby Jesus. Don't get me wrong, we are called to celebrate and create a time set aside to honor Jesus and the gift He is to us. It's just finding that healthy balance between "how" we celebrate and "what" we do (and don't do) to honor Him.
May you feel the love of Jesus as you prepare to celebrate. What a gift He is.
