Christmas Challenge - Part 25

25 - A Final Christmas Challenge!  We celebrated Christmas today far from our extended family, and with an integral part of our immediate family away from home as well, and it was a JOYFUL, HAPPY Christmas!  For our family, it does not matter who we are with on Christmas Day (or who is with us!) or where we celebrate.  

Christmas is a joyful reminder that GOD, the Creator and Ruler of the Universe, chose to send His only son to earth, not "just to visit" or "be a good example" or "spread peace and goodwill", but He came with a purpose:  to die for us and save us from our sins!  What a reason for us to celebrate, no matter what our present circumstances may be!

So, from our imperfect circumstances to yours...JOYFUL CHRISTMAS, everyone!!!  :)

I did not know you were a blogger--I didn't think ANYONE else at church was! I'm glad to find this :)
