christmas time...

one of the things that really was getting to me was that Christmas is now 3 days away and I just was not excited, not looking forward to it, nothing. I got shopping done, but was just not into it. Didn’t feel anything...even going to the christmas parties and celebrating with the team
And then a few days ago I was listening to Christmas music and it just hit me.
All the carols that we all hear and don’t always like…the lyrics are so powerful. SO powerful.
And I think it started to hit me…this is celebration time. and i just wanted to share these thoughts with you all.
This is the time to think about the people who were waiting for the Messiah to come. Waiting for hope that one day they could be saved and live in heaven, that God’s words would come true.
Just waiting, having faith, wondering…
And they did…and Jesus came.
Imagine how they felt! Just this incredible sigh of relief…He’s here. Finally…
And now…for us…we celebrate because we don’t have to wait. We don’t have to sit and wonder. We don’t have to guess when He will come…
Because He already did.
He already lived.
He already died.
He already saved us.
He already gave us the opportunity to live…
Its done, it happened.
JOY TO THE WORLD! The Lord is come…the Savior reigns!
Now…we can sleep, we can rest and sleep in a heavenly peace because everything is ok, all is calm.
We don’t have to worry anymore…He already did it!
So now we can be excited and thank God that He is faithful, thank Him because He has taken care of us…thank Him because He did it regardless of how we would react.
He has now put it in our hands…given us His gift.
And now…He waits on us…
