Getting Into the Spirit of Christmas

I attended the performance of a singing Christmas tree the other night. The music warmed my heart and the story reminded me of the Great God that we have. The story fit present day realities in our country. A man had lost his job, couldn't provide for his family and couldn't seem to find another job. His wife was a Christian, but he was not. He could not figure out how a babe in a manger could offer him hope in the midst of his dilemma. With the help of a man he met while drinking coffee, he was to start at the manger, but not to stop there. He told him to trace the little baby's life as he grew, became a man, entered His ministry, died on the cross, was buried and rose again. As I watched the progression of the story and the man's journey, to faith I was reminded of how great and gracious our God truly is. I was reminded how He is with His children in whatever we face in life and how He is our hope. As I listened to the Hallelujah Chorus being sung, I was reminded that one day the kingdoms of this earth will become the kingdom of our Lord and God and He shall reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah!


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. May God's richest blessings be yours.
