Santa Loves JESUS!



           Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  As you consider your Christmas list this year, please remember that all of us need reminders of God’s love and JOY.

            Speaking of joy….Children are full of excitement during the Christmas season.  Their little eyes sparkle with wonder when they see Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas.  They anticipate what they’ll find under their tree on Christmas morning.  And just in case Santa might forget, many times they’ll write him a letter giving lots of hints about what they’d like.  Parents do everything they can to make sure Santa gets the message.

            But how careful are we adults to make sure our children get the message about WHY we celebrate Christmas?!  Do the children under your influence know that we would not even have Christmas if it were not for the birth of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ?  Let’s show them in the Bible where they can read about Jesus being born in a stable. Take the opportunities to talk about the real meaning of Christmas as you decorate your tree or go Christmas shopping together.  Ask questions to see if they really understand.

            And may I make another suggestion?  As you write Christmas letters or send Christmas cards to family and friends this year, encourage your children to write a letter to God thanking Him for sending Jesus to earth.  Let them express their gratitude for this season of the year.  You might teach them 2 Corinthians 9:15:  Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”

            We would have no JOY JUICE if it were not for JESUS!  Spread Christmas Joy by sharing His love with others today!
