Memories

Well I have been some kind of busy this Christmas season and I haven't posted here in a while. Please excuse me and I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. My sister had bought my mom one of those digital picture frames and i have to say I was impressed with the variety of photos she put on the card. We watched the photos cycle through as history merged with technology. The infant photos of myself and my sister drew tears in moms eyes. Memories of my step father before his passing drew new smiles from underneath my moms loneliness as we shared some very special memories. Laughs, ah's, and tears filled the moment with hugs and happiness. I believe God wants us to have those same memories with Him. To remember the times of sorrow that he brought us out of, to remember the times he made us laugh, and cry. God is a personal God and he has created us to be personal with him. If we could just remember the reason for this season, and think back to his child hood. Put yourself in that position wrapped up in swaddling clothe. Surround yourself with the smells and imagine what those who surrounded him were saying about a king in this position, and did they know? Thanks to Gods word we do know and we should take the time to cherish what the birth of Jesus Christ means. If he had not been born he would not have died and we know what this means for our salvation. Now Christmas day may have passed, but CHRISTmas should be an every day celebration for all of us. Challenge yourself this up and coming year to have a very merry CHRISTmas every day.
