“The Virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel which means God with us.” Matthew 1: 23
“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21

Christmas is the favorite time of year for many people, it’s great! No school, no work, family and friends, and lots and lots of new stuff. I mean those are things that i’ve been looking forward to. But today i started thinking about Christmas…I’m sad to say that I’m one of those people that has gotten caught up in buying gifts for people and wondering what I’m gonna get, honestly when I thought of Christmas that’s what I thought of…gifts. I never thought about the real reason for the season. Then just randomly as I’m driving home from work I found myself thinking about little baby Jesus and how awesome he is, I mean could you imagine how Mary and Joseph felt? I cant imagine how I would feel when I give birth to my own child…not the son of God. The day that baby was born…our lives were changed forever! and we weren’t even close to being born yet at all.That is just…soo crazy! I love it! I love God! There’s just soo much that you dont even think about, he shows us His awesomeness in so many different ways.

I dont want to make a long post like usually, I just wanted to remind yall the real reason to celebrate…dont get too caught up in gifts and material possessions. Have a merry CHRISTmas! Enjoy every minute of it and thank God for everything you have and you’re getting because you wouldn’t have anything without him, because without Him you have nothing, but with Him you have everything. …I’m just overwhelmed with God!

Merry CHRISTmas!
