Merry Christmas!!!!! I am thinking about just how amazing this day is, to celebrate Jesus' first coming, and to think of how He is doing a new thing and this is the time to prepare ourselves for His second coming. He's not a baby in a manger anymore, He's not a broken man on a cross! He is going to come in His glory, because He is the man in the glory. Right now I think of all those who don't have homes like mine, and how blessed I am to have been born into my family. This reminds me to pray, this Christmas is different for me, I am viewing things in new ways, in refined ways, in humble ways. When we look at things in old, prideful ways like those of the Pharisees, we are filled with bad, but when we look with thankful hearts, we are blessed with all of the spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. 

I want to encourage us to pray for those who are in need, ask the LORD if He has it for you to give yourself in any way, or to give your money, ask Him how He wants you to bless Him today,  no matter what ends up under the tree on Christmas morning, whether it is a lot, or none at all--- We are equally blessed in Christ. And He is our portion.

Be Blessed today!!
