Christmas 2008 has come and gone already! It came quickly this year. Our family had a wonderful time yesterday with Christmas. We had everyone home for the day to celebrate together the reason for the season, The Birth of Our Savior - Jesus Christ.
Before we started opening presents in the morning, I read from Luke Chapter 2 about the birth of Jesus. I then read the commentary from the new Bible I had bought from the Fuller Book Store. It is the Renovare Bible. The commentary spoke about the messiness of Jesus birth and how God used it to bring our Savior into the world. Even the birth of Jesus was messy so it is the same in our own lives. Our lives are messy and out of that messiness God brings forth his deliverance.
After the opening of the gifts we had a time of fellowship, nerf gun battles, nap time, and then the cooking of the meal. We had prime rib, twice baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fresh cranberry sauce, green beans, and rolls. For desert, we had a wonderful apple pie baked by Rachel and a pecan pie provided by Bristol Farms.
We had the opportunity to share Christmas this year with Brian F, Matt K, and Paul S.
May the Lord and Creator of the universe bless your Christmas Season this year!
