He Gave All

Most of us love Christmas! It’s a time with family, gift giving and receiving and for those of us who call Jesus our Savior, it’s a time to be reminded of the most perfect, precious and sacrificial gift of all time…the birth of Christ our Lord.

However, it is so easy during this time of the year to be overwhelmed or to get caught up in the cultural trappings. I do! I love the snow, the cold, the smells, the fires in the fireplace, the children and grandkids getting all excited and being able to relax and have fun with friends and family.

This year make sure you take some time to think on the old cliché, “The Real Meaning of Christmas”. Given the opportunity we want to share with those around us why we celebrate the birth of Christ. It’s a perfect opportunity to ask the yet to be saved what they believe about Christmas and the birth of Christ. It’s also a great way to steer conversations with friends, family and coworkers to what is really important during this time of year despite what appears to be “urgent” in our lives.

Church…the Good News never gets old and Christmas time is a time when many are more willing to listen to your unique story!

I want to thank Dan and Deb for the work that they do that I get to be a part of and for the passion they share for the lost souls of Thailand who need the Good News. Because of them I get to share the impact and the passion rubs off just enough to get me excited to share the Good News with those who do not know Him in my world!

Merry Christmas everyone!
