For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
~ King James Version (KJV)
With everyone focusing on gift giving right now, this is actually one of the best times of the year to talk to people about the PERFECT GIFT. God's perfect gift to mankind long ago was Jesus.
JESUS is TRULY the reason for the season. Sadly, many people prefer to have the Christmas season without Christ.
A devotional I read this morning prompted this journal post and stated: "Jesus cautioned about laying up earthly treasures that can be destroyed or stolen. It is time for us to acknowledge the folly of pursuits for earthly pleasure and security in things. We should look instead to the Cross, from which the greatest gift: absolute security in life continually flows." (from Presidential Prayer Team)
The Chadwell family is not about 'Santa Clause' in our home, but we do observe a holiday tradition of a Christmas tree and enjoy to exchange a few modest gifts each year. And we simply focus on celebrating the day Jesus came into the world. We know December 25 was probably not the exact date in history it happened but we have set aside this day of observance.
Its wonderful to look back on previous Christmas Seasons and relive precious family memories. If you don't have a tradition like this, start one, this season. But make sure everything revolves around and honors the TRUE MEANING of Christmas: JESUS CHRIST...!
