The Day After

Well the big day is over. All the presents are open and the meals are done. Did you get what you asked for or wanted?

I took some time today to reflect on the day and what it meant to me and my family. I saw the looks on my kids faces as they opened up their gifts and the excitement that they portrayed.

My oldest son opened a gift that he just knew he was not going to get. When he opened it, there was a sense of overwhelming joy that came from him. I thought about this and thought that the fact that God sent His Son for us could be similar to this experience. We were given something that we never expected or deserved; His saving grace.

Today I am thanking God for His grace. I never deserved it, or earned it, but He gave it anyway. Thanks God.

Merry Christmas

To all of you reading this blog post, Merry Christmas. I truly pray that all of you take the time over the next few days and really reflect on what the true meaning of Christmas is all about. Most of the shopping is done (unless you male, and then that happens tomorrow), the office and church parties are over, now it is just the time with the family.

So this season I am taking the time to really love on my kids and my wife, to be focused on Jesus, and to be grateful that the God of the universe thought so much of me that He sent His Son for me.

Thanks God.
