Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Christmas is about second chances, it is about us having the opportunity to find meaning in life through a new life of baby Jesus that we celebrate. So when we look back on the year, looking back on our past we will find both success and disappointments, and it is from these that we look forward and get excited about starting a New Year with hope. A hope that we will be able to live more fulfilled lives than what we did.
We are privileged to sit down at Christmas to a meal, with family and friends, to think of those who we miss celebrating the love, peace and joy of a happy home, we look forward to life filled with contentment, and anticipation of what Jesus will bring to us in the days and years ahead. The blessing of good health, food on the table, good sleep and no arguments in our homes is what I ask God to bless you with.
Be encouraged over the this time of Christmas and the New Year to be to blessed to be stressed.
David
Point to ponder: Christmas is about hope and new life in all of us.
Question to consider: Are you blessed?
