Merry Christmas

Since my last blog was kind of a downer I wanted to set a new tone for this most important of holidays!  This won't take long, but don't forget everyone that presents are not what make up this particular holiday.  We celebrate today because a Savior was born on this day.  Because of His birth, we now have redemption and a straight hook up line to the Top Dog.....The Almighty God!  Jesus is our advocate, who stands in the gab constantly making intercession on our behalf.  Don't forget that the enemy also has an audience with God.......don't believe me???  Check out Job!  We have an accuser that likes to point out every mistake we make but Glory be to God that because of His great love for us, He gave us His son Jesus!  Some how or another we have turned this wonderful holiday into a month long (for some a lot longer) source of some of the worst stress we encounter over a years time.  Why?  It's supposed to be a celebration not a time of mourning our bank accounts.  Oh, and yes, I'm guilty of this myself.  Most of us are.  Later today, I want to make it a point to see some of my family and not give presents, but instead my presence and invite the One whose birthday we're celebrating!  Have a Happy Christmas and relax and enjoy!  All my love, Patty
