Hey, Tulip! How's it going?
Hi Victoria! I've been busy today. Finally finished wrapping Christmas gifts tonight. How are you doing?
So, when will you be able to hear some music?
Sometime in January. LOL!
January? OMG, I'll be working again.
I'll be working too.
But you'll miss all the fun.
I know. :-(
Oh well, I don't want you to feel bad about it. I was kinda kidding, really.
I know you were kidding. I'm just playing along. :-)
I know. LOL!!!
I'm going to go to bed. Good night!
Good night, Tulip. Sorry, I was on the phone.
Merry Christmas, Miss Amy!
"I'll be home for Christmas"
Merry Christmas to all our men and women in uniform and all my FRiends at Amy's Place.
Merry Christmas, Jen.
Read: Matthew 1:18-25
The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28
Bible In One Year: Habakkuk 1-3; Revelation 15
Although millions celebrate Jesus' birthday, few seem to be aware of its real significance.
We recognize that His birth was unusual because He was born of a virgin. His life was unique too, for He was the only one who lived without sinning. His death was also unusual. Jesus was not a martyr. He was not the victim of unfortunate circumstances, dying for a worthy cause. Nor did He lay down His life just to set a good example. There's much more to it than that. The Lord Jesus came into this world to be our Savior!
Jesus Himself said that He came "to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). Who are the lost? The Bible tells us that "all have sinned" and that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 3:23; 6:23). In order to save the world, Jesus had to die for it. He came and lived the perfect life and then died the death we should have died. The true meaning of Christmas is that Jesus was born to die. Because He was crucified and then rose from the dead, forgiveness of sin and assurance of heaven is now offered to all who believe (John 1:12).
Have you accepted God's gift of salvation? If not, do so today, and this will be your most meaningful Christmas ever. Richard De Haan
Thanks for the trip back in time. A time of innocence and wonder.
"Christmas Tree Light Day" I have them all over the office too!
