Christmas - The Ultimate Picture of God's Love

We're just 2 days before Christmas and I am reminded of the reason for the season. I see that phrase in so many places but I have to stop and ask myself am I truly conscious of what Christmas is all about. With shopping for gifts, cooking for the family and trying to wrap up the last minutes things in the office before we close for a couple of days, I really don't think that I have given any serious consideration to the true meaning of Christmas.

Do you recall the scene in the Charlie Brown Christmas Special where Linus is on stage and begins to recite the Christmas story. Everyone is quiet and all of a sudden, it's not about the tree and decorations any longer. It's about the true meaning of Christmas. I hope that we all take the time to quietly remember the Christmas story and why this is Christmas, not just a happy holiday. We have a loving heavenly Father that loves us more than we can ever imagine. May this Christmas be very special for you as you quietly reflect on God's love.
