What Is Christmas?

“What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.”    - Agnes M. Pahro

May we celebrate Christ’s birth not just today, but all year long. May we know that we are loved. May we feel His presence in our lives, in our stories. May we know how blessed we are to be characters in each other’s stories, and to be in His.

There is no greater joy than celebrating Jesus. May the miracle of CHRISTmas bless our hearts with God’s unending and unconditional love!

 

Love, Zoe

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

“I Celebrate The Day” by Relient K

And with this Christmas wish is missed / The point I could convey / If only I could find the words to say / To let You know how much You’ve touched my life / Because here is where You’re finding me / In the exact same place as New Year’s Eve / And from a lack of my persistency / We’re less than half as close as I want to be

And the first time that You opened Your eyes did You realize that You would be my Savior? And the first breath that left Your lips, did You know that it would change this world forever?

And so this Christmas I’ll compare the things I felt in prior years / To what this midnight made so clear, that You have come to meet me here

To look back and think that / This baby would one day save me / In the hope that what You did / That You were born so I might really live / To look back and think that / This baby would one day save me

And I, I celebrate the day / That You were born to die / So I could one day pray for You to save my life / Pray for You to save my life / Pray for You to save my life

 

I love you all, and I wish you a beautiful and loving Merry Christmas filled with God’s gifts of Love, Joy, Peace, Faith, and Hope. God’s blessings to everyone!

Love, Zoe
