Early Christmas!

We shared an early Christmas this evening with my daughter because she is going to Zimbabwe to spend her Christmas there with her dad. We gave presents and were given presents. There were lots of excited thank you's.

However, Christmas should not only be about us, it should firstly be about Jesus Christ. If it were not for His birth into this world, there would not be a Christmas, just an old testament life with no hope in everlasting life. No Godly examples to follow.

Say thanks, but say thanks to Him first, it is His birthday, not ours!

Lord Jesus, thank you for this time of year where giving becomes so desireable. I pray Lord that in giving, we give with a heart of Godliness with no expectations of receiving material gifts in return. I pray that our receiving may be in blessings from you. Amen.
