Hi Everyone! Merry CHRISTMAS! I hope you’re well! My week has been GREAT. I hope the same for you! Today I would like to talk about what Christmas means to me. Christmas means a whole lot of things for all sorts of people. Christmas means spending time with family and friends, pursuing joy and peace. Some people might have a grand party. Others bake all sorts of goodies. Some it might mean decorating and hanging lights. These are all great things and there’s nothing wrong with them, but what Christmas truly means is the birth of JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD! Christmas is all about celebrating and commemorating the birth of JESUS! GOD sent JESUS that HOLY day to save us from death itself! Remember that this Christmas season! I also would like to say The First Baptist Church of DeKalb is having a candlelight Christmas Eve service and I would love to see you there check the church Facebook page for extra information! My mom’s favorite Christmas song is “Oh Holy Night” but it has to be Nat King Cole’s version. In that song it says, “Long lay the world in sin and error pining Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn” I have been saved so Christmas means so much to me. Because of Jesus my soul does feel its worth and I do rejoice on what God did for me.
I am praying your soul feels its worth this Christmas and you rejoice on Christmas Day as the morning breaks and we rejoice in the glory of the newborn King! MERRY CHRISTMAS from Harper Jo Sparks and family!
