Worship the Creator. Do not allow yourself to love the gift more than the Giver. All blessings bestowed upon us are from our Holy Father. This time of year many get caught up in the gift giving and receiving and it is a wonderful tradition when kept in perspective. The Lord loves His children, especially when we bless one another. Nothing pleases Him more than to see people charitable and giving to others. I am the youngest of five and I love Christmas, always have. I love the decorating, shopping, entertaining, cooking...all of it. But I honestly must say my favorite part is to get someone everything they asked for. To bless them. It is the greatest joy to me. Yes, I love a gift too but I truly am blessed beyond measure and want for nothing. I am blessed with favor and honor, which can never be bought. The Lord has allowed me time off from work so that I can rest in Him and enjoy my home. He has delivered my husband and renewed His life and heart and I have watched a changed life now live only to honor and serve God. He continues to work in my life changing me into the person He created me to be, for His purpose, not man. Therefore I do have a deeper gratitude spiritually than I have ever before. I understand that Christmas is much more than sparkly bows, tinseled trees and mistletoe. It is to celebrate the birth of Jesus and all that He has given us. I pray that everyone reading this knows the true meaning of Christmas and keeps the focus on the One who it is all for. And enjoy all the tidings and joy He has given. Have a wonderful Spirit filled holiday season.
Psalm 84:11
