Joy to the World


Christmas has arrived.  The wait is over.  We’ve put up the tree, sent the cards, and prepared the gifts.  Amazingly, in a few short hours, this Christmas will be history. 

So let’s not miss it.  Let’s savor the moment this weekend. On Christmas Eve every year, during the singing of Silent Night and the lighting of candles, I sense the awe of being one with Christians everywhere.   It’s as though the activity around us stops, and we are all together gazing into the manger and contemplating the greatest of all miracles.

Let’s make a pact to focus on Him – and Him alone – for a few moments this weekend.  The myriad of things we look forward to doing at Christmastime will wait.  I pray you experience His joy and His peace this Christmas!
