Christmas is a day like no other. Even in preparing for this glorious occasion, somehow, we forget what Christmas is all about. Never has it been the number of gifts you give or receive. It’s in the simple things that are so easy to overlook until; if we are not careful will; be too late to recover. I know for many; this festive holiday brings sorrow and pain because someone you loved so much is not here. No amount of presents or comforting words may bring you peace. (Isaiah 9:6). I hope songs of praise and worship and these scriptures remind you what matters most this season. It’s spending time with family and those you hold dear.

Cherish each moment you have with them because life is like a vapor. In a minute, without notice, someone could be gone. God, knows, there are those in each family who are easy to love than others. It’s not how they treat you, but more important is you being an example of God’s love to them. (Hebrews 10:25; Luke 6:31). You can’t make up for a lost time, so while you have the chance, lay aside any distractions which have put distance between you and those you love. Bury the hurt by asking for forgiveness and offering grace because nobody deserves it. Beloved, the Lord never preserved these gifts only for those you think are deserving of such. He granted it to us, though we fell short. 

This Christmas Day, the gift of His birth lies in our choice to honor Jesus Christ by always infesting the world with His extravagant love. (John 15:12). This blessing shall be so enormous that anyone it touches can’t resist passing this on because they won’t be able to contain it.

I recommend these films; which I pray to stir your heart and bring you hope. I found them to be stories that represent the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
