Merry Christmas (season)

Christmas!  It is official!  We lit the first candle for Advent at church, we picked out and cut our Christmas tree, it is decorated, and cookies have started gracing the oven!!!!!  YEAH!!!!
I do love this season!  
How far Christ came to rescue us always amazes me.  To think of stepping into such darkness from such brilliance.....  We truly are only worthy because of what Christ has done!

There are many who are experiencing pain and loss this year;  More than I can ever remember knowing.  I don't know if it's because of my age - grandparents and parents start experiencing health problems....  or maybe I am just more tuned in.  Whatever the reason, there is often pain in the offering of praise.  
This year I am so aware of the eternal promises of God, and I am thankful that I can claim them.
Looking forward to all that this season holds!

Romans 12:2

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.  Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.
