Have you had your JOY JUICE today? We need to make certain that we’re drinking
it faithfully throughout this busy Christmas season….if not we may forget the
reason we’re celebrating!
Many of us
are beginning to get those Christmas cards and updates from friends and family
members that we wait for all year long.
Christmas time is the perfect time to exchange
greetings with loved ones; after all, LOVE is the reason God sent His Son Jesus
to earth.
As I was
making my own Christmas list, I thought about the suggestion I gave yesterday
about encouraging our children to write a letter of thanks to God. Just think of all the letters to Santa that
are written every year around this time.
So often we completely leave God out of the celebration when HE is the
reason we celebrate Christmas. Many
people miss this truth. Some even want to remove all the Christian symbols and
traditions of the season. Let’s do our
part to make sure that CHRIST remains the center of our Christmas.
So, how
about joining me as we write our own letters to God? Maybe we could say something like this:
Dear God,
Thank you for
loving me! Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, to be born of a virgin; to
live on this earth in the midst of sinful men; and then to die for me.
I am grateful
for the reminders during this Christmas season that Your love is always
available. May I show my love and thankfulness to you, Father, by spreading the
JOY of the Lord throughout every season of the year!
Write (or at least speak) your own Christmas letter
of joy & gratitude to the Lord.
