In a little over 48 hours Christmas morning will be here! Kids all over will be running to the tree to find their "treasure". I remember the laughs and the faces of joy that were on the faces of our boys as they opened their gifts. Those memories will always be a part of my life. This year Paul will begin to build his memories with his 18 month old boys. I am sure his house like many others will be full of excitement!
At our last kid's church service I asked the kids what they thought Christmas was all about. The overwhelming response was Jesus! Well that wasn't the answer I gave them. Christmas is all about gifts. The look on their faces was priceless! Now don't worry I haven't been teaching kids any wrong messages. Christmas is all about gifts, actually it is about a gift. The gift of God's love by sending His son Jesus to us. What better gift could there be?
When Christmas morning does come I guarantee you that the kids will run to the tree and when they see a present with their name on it they will tear it open eager to see what is inside. I have never been one to carefully open a present trying to save the pretty paper, nope I tear into it just like a kid. Wouldn't it be silly to receive a gift and not open it? Yep it sure would!
God has given us a gift and He wants us to open it. It is the gift of salvation through His son Jesus. Just like we give gifts to our children out of love, God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life! See I told you Christmas is all about gifts. God Bless you and Merry Christmas!
