It was touching to hear each of the four children come up with their own unique aspect of being thankful for Jesus and amazing to be apart as a couple of them even choked up slightly as they shared. Yes, Jesus is better than any gift under the tree! We're thankful: He understands us when no one else does, He came for EVERYONE even though many turn their back on Him, that He walked this life an understands what we struggle with, and that He was willing to leave heaven and come to earth in such a humble way as a stinky, noisy stable! Merry Christmas!
It is Christmas afternoon and as I had encouraged others to find a way to invite Jesus into their Christmas celebration--we still searched for how we would accomplilsh that this year. Our daughter reminded us of our birthday tradition of going around and telling the birthday person what we appreciate and are thankful for about them. Why not do that for Jesus she asked? Great idea!!
