Christmas Season

I find it amazing that the God of all creation, the one who hung the stars, who spoke and it was, chose to come to this earth, not in a fiery chariot blazing across the sky above the temple, or even in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer, but came as a helpless infant baby born in a cow trough. The creator of all heaven and earth came not to the religious leaders of the time, but to the poor. God, who is and was all things, was not born in a palace with angels to care for his every need, but in a manger. He came to the meekest, not to the best. He came to give us a gift, a relationship with him. So when you’re out shopping this season and you’re thinking of Christmas gifts, remember the greatest gift of all.
