I love Christmas time!  The songs, the weather, the cheesy Christmas movies on ABC Family, spending time with my family, and yes, I even enjoy the hustle and bustle of stores and resteraunts that come with this time of year!  But more than any other thing I LOVE taking the time to remember the true reason we celebrate this season, celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  I am so undeserving of having God's Son come into this world to die for me, but boy am I thankful beyond measure!  God is good! 

My challenge to all of you this Christmas season is to take a few moments, or more, to truly reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.  And just because Thanksgiving has already passed doesn't mean you should stop giving thanks for all of the many wonderful blessings in your life!  If you are one of those people who don't think your life is full of blessings, keep looking, they're there!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
