Good Morning,
My coffee this morning is Door County White Christmas. I am drinking it slowly and enjoying some extra time in prayer before heading to work.
Today is Christmas Eve, the night before we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I was thinking about the ministry years of Jesus last night. He came to Earth knowing exactly when He would die and how He would be killed. Yet He lived life to it's fullest. He attended feasts and weddings. He spent time with children and family. He went to church. He taught others. He went fishing with friends. He spent time with lepers and healed the sick. He traveled from city to city and saw storms and rough seas. He dined in the homes of friends. He gave of himself to the very end. He loved like no one could ever love. He forgave others. He worked at restoring friendships. He made the most of each day. He threw a fish dinner for thousands.
Romans 5:8
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
My advice on how to have a great Christmas. Do like Jesus did. Live like you were dying. Love much, laugh often, teach others what you can. Spend time with the sick. Make soup to help them heal. Light a fire to warm others. Go to weddings or anniversaries, and celebrate with others. Give yourself to others. Share what you have. I hope you dance! Tell others that they are loved more than they know. Live like this might be your last Christmas.
Love you all!
Marty
