Merry Christmas

I haven't been posting as much lately. Mostly because we don't have Internet and I can only do it at work. So, maybe if this one's long, that might make up for my lack in writing.

I can't believe Christmas is here already. This month has been so busy, that we have had something going on every day. Our church Christmas party went very well. We had about 20 people in our little house, but I think everyone had a good time. Luke and I were planning on seeing my family for Christmas, but with the weather, we may not be able to. Mostly, I want to meet Megan and hold her, but I suppose I can wait if I have to.

I feel like I've been distracted with "Christmas spirit" this year to really dwell on Jesus. I love the music, smells, decorations, and buying presents that I get so worked up about the season. So, I'm trying to focus more on Christ this Christmas. I have been very good to only say "Merry Christmas", instead of the "happy Holidays." Somehow that makes me feel better, I'm not sure why. It might be more of a sticking it to the man type of thing, and in that case, maybe it's not so good.

But anyways, Luke 2 9-11
"And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

We have good news of a great joy, salvation! No better gift than that. That God loved us so much that he lowered himself to take the form of a man and live among us, and suffer for us is a wonderful gospel. I'm praying that this Christmas, many would get the gift of salvation.

Well, this wasn't that long, but I'll try to be better with writing.

God bless and Merry Christmas
