Read aloud Luke 2:1-20, and rejoice anew over the Birth of our Savior and King! Merry Merry Christmas!

This Christmas, as I consider the most perfect gift, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I am  reminded of the reason that God gave us His Son. Jesus is the gift God gave us out of His love,  and out of that same love, we are the gifts that are from Him, through Him, and to Him.

Many of us begin the holiday season with the best of intentions to keep Christ as our focus. Somehow, He gradually gets put on the back burner as preparations take precedence, and we become more focused on the task at hand.
