Hey everybody, Merry Christmas ho, ho, ho!!!
So it's finally here, it's December first and welcome to my virtual Christmas party! I'm SO sorry for the delay but I was out all afternoon at the mall with a friend and I did manage to get a present for my niece but mostly I was there to walk around and give back to my community because giving is really what the season is all about. I gave five dollars to Salvation Army, and made a Build-A-Bear for Toys for Tots because about a little more over than two thousand years ago a child was given onto us.
This child would go on to do great things. He grew up to walk on water, turn water into wine, and feed thousands upon thousands of people. The most important thing that He would grow up to do though is bring us our salvation and reconciliation with God. However, He humbled Himself enough and entered this world in the same exact way that we do as an innocent and helpless little infant. Jesus Christ was an unselfish gift of love from the Lord and the true reason that we celebrate Christmas is to honor His birth. We can do that by showing love onto one another and giving to those less fortunate than us, and being kind and compassionate to somebody even if they aren't being that way toward us.
Although I don't have a problem with children going to go see Santa Claus at the mall and telling them what they want for Christmas, and setting milk and cookies out for him to eat, and staying up late laying in their beds to see if they can hear the sound of sleigh bells ringing, it's really about love, family, and giving onto one another since God first gave to us. After all, all that Mary and Joseph had was each other and a very special baby named Jesus. That was enough for them, and although I'm really excited about getting my Christmas presents this year, that is really enough for me as well because my faith and my family and friends are something that money just can't buy.
Have a very merry and wonderful Christmas this year. All my Christian love,
April
Ps. And please enjoy the party!
