Christmas Morning


Merry Christmas. I so love to get up early on Christmas morning. We traditionally have an egg casserole for breakfast and I can smell it warming in the oven. So good! Last night we attended a Christmas Eve service to celebrate and be reminded of the reason we have this holiday. I am continually amazed each year when I stop and really contemplate the awesome act of God becoming man and being born the lowliest of the low in our world...just to redeem us as a people for himself. Amazing! So, as we exchange gifts that bring temporary joy, we will think of the permanent joy we have in Jesus Christ, the best gift ever.
