Happy Jesus' Birthday!

Merry Christmas!
I know this is a little late but I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope everyone enjoyed getting together with family and friends and all the holiday food. Most of all I hope you remembered the real reason for Christmas.

This Christmas I learned something new. Most of us have heard the Christmas story. About Mary being a virgin and then Joseph and Mary traveling to Bethlehem and Jesus being born in a barn and laid in a manger. I was missing all the details though.

The one part I found truely amazing this Christmas was the wise men. There were 2 things I realized:
1. Do you know how long the three wise men to travel to see Jesus? following the north star. 2 years. yes 2 years. Jesus wasn't even conceived at 2 years! That just shows that God had a plan. He is always in control and will guide you through everything.
2. One of the wisemen brought Myrrh. I think this is what they poured over the bodies back then when they were dead. This connects what Jesus came to do for us. He came to die. I thought that was interesting.

I am thankful for all God has given me but especially His son. Because he showed love is why we celebrate the season.

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

so true.

We get caught up in all the presents and holiday cooking, do we even remember why we are celebrating the season? Sometimes I really wonder. People have even started lawsuits over the phrase "Merry Christmas". Christ is the reason we celebrate. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have a Christmas. I'm sick of the "Happy Holidays" and I WILL be saying Merry CHRISTmas this season.

Then these are just a few fun videos just to make you laugh. enjoy! :)
