Celebrating Christ's Birth

Recently I heard a story of a mother who was planning her son's birthday party. She was really excited to celebrate and invited all her family and close friends. As guests were arriving with gifts for the son, the mother could see that everone was excited as well. She had worked hard to prepare a nice meal and had decorated beautifully for the celebration. As people started arriving and the party began, a family member asked where is the "Birthday Boy" because he was no where to be found. She answered "I sent him to play at a friends house so that we could enjoy the party more. I was afraid if he was here, he might be in the way and we wouldn't have as much fun." This didn't make sense to the family member because she came to celebrate the boys birthday.

While this doesn't make much sense, to celebrate without the person of honor being present, it is something we do far to easy. As you celebrate this Christmas with close family and friends, a nice meal and beautiful decorations, remember to celebrate with the "Birthday Boy"who is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Or the celebration doesn't make much sense.

Luke 2:11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HEARTS TO YOURS

FELIZ NAVIDAD!
