The Holiday Season is Upon Us!

I can't believe the holidays are upon us again. In some eyes, this is the time to give and receive gifts, spend time with family and eat too much food. In others it is a time of sadness due to losing loved ones or not having the time/expenses to spend time with their loved ones. For me, this is a time to reflect on the past year, give thanks to God for what we have and wish Jesus a VERY Happy Birthday! All too often we get wrapped up on the commercial side of CHRISTmas instead of remembering what we are really suppose to be celebrating, and that is the birth of Our Savior. If it was not for Him and what He did for us on the cross, our lives would not be what they are today. My prayer in life is to instill this into my childrens' minds at a young age and that those that are not walking their life with Jesus will someday turn to Him and follow His path.

We still have gifts under the tree, enjoying giving those gifts to others, spending time with family and eating way too much, but the heart of the season is this: JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

I would like to wish each and every one of you a blessed CHRISTmas and my pray for you in the New Year is health, happiness, joy, peace and love. God Bless!
