It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Small Group Christmas Party

"That night there were shepherd staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them..." (Luke 2:8-9)

Fall Bible Study ended last night with a fun-filled, all-inclusive Christmas party with Christmas dinner, Christmas cookies, Christmas games, Miss Tackiest Christmas Sweater pageant, decorating the Christmas tree, and Silent Night, a Christmas carol. It goes without saying, that around my house, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

On the first Christmas so long long ago, snowman cookies and tacky sweaters weren't in picture. Instead, a newborn babe in a smelly barn, heavenly hosts caroling frightened shepherd in the fields, and the radiant glory of the Lord adorned the night that God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). 

May we always remember that Jesus is the reason for the season, and may you have yourself a merry, Christ-filled Christmas, beloved!
