Christmas Is Every Day

And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

Blessed Christmas to you and yours! May the new born Jesus continue to grow in our hearts and lives each day as we continue to share this Miracle of love with those He puts around us. Christmas is never “just” one day in the year but rather Christmas is every day as we show and tell Jesus’ love and forgiveness to all. What a gift that we never have to “take down” all of the Christmas decorations in our lives after today but rather we get to continue to be stars of His light and ornaments of His majesty every day. There is no such thing as an after-Christmas “sale”. Christ is always “free” for the taking, as the spirit works in and through each of us.

A little child was asked during the family Christmas dinner to finish the scripture passage, “And the Word became …..” He was flustered for a minute but then proudly proclaimed, “ And the Word became …..Fresh”! And he was right! The Word, Jesus Christ, became flesh for us so that His Word would be “fresh” in and through our lives as we continue to share and celebrate the Christmas miracle.

Prayer
Lord, we celebrate Your birth today by sharing Your Word in fresh and lively ways with others. Thanks for being born into our lives each day so that we may enable others to be born in You as well, through Your death and resurrection for all of us. Blessed Birthday, Jesus! Amen!
