I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas this year with their families. Remember that most of us live our lives for ourselves throughout the year, but this time of the year is here for us to sorely celebrate Jesus' birth and how it lead to saving our souls. How Mary was blessed with a baby and lived off pure faith until the messiah came. Sometimes it is hard to have faith in life, but as I think about how Mary must have felt it inspires me to always keep the faith. If an angel appeared and said she was having the son of God, then had to tell others she was a virgin and was to give birth to a baby named Jesus it must have been difficult. While pregnant a woman should also be taken good care of to ensure the health of the baby. Mary traveled around and on the night on her birth did not even have a place to lay down. She ended up giving birth in a manager surrounded by animals - the king of the world born in a barn.
If you have forgotten where Jesus was born and the life he lived, remember it this Christmas. Many of us think we need fancy cars, clothes, houses, and status. None of that matter. God does not care who all you know, what you drive, what house you live in, or what you look like. He wants your heart - not part of it, but all of it. He wants you to love him through faith and obeying Him. Words without actions are dead, and that is not something a Christian wants to hear on judgement day. No matter what you have done in your past, may you be a light to the darkness in the world - the one who lights up a place with Godliness instead of the one who makes the room dark from sin.
As for my personal life, I got an australian delivered to Irving, TX for Christmas this year! Nick had been working so hard and was really sick, but he still flew 17 hours so I wouldn't have to wait until February to see him again! The best gift ever is being around someone you love. He is so wonderful for sacrificing his time and money to visit. So bring on the cowboys this Sunday and all of the other activities we will be doing!
Merry Christmas & God Bless!
Love,
Lauren
