With Christmas day behind us, and the New Year a day away....thoughts turn from reflective to prospective. I love the Holidays. I don't like all the commercialism, the anxiety over gifts and concern of failing to please others....but I still see magic and wonder around me this time of the year. I shot this photo using my cellular phone after a jog - isn't it amazing the technology at our fingertips now? I remember the days before cellular phones and digital camera's....it's funny...I don't feel that old...
With the Holidays, it is easy to loose focus on the reason for the season, the celebration of the birth of Christ Jesus. Even though December 25th is not the actual date of the birth of the Christ Child...it is the day Christians honor His birth. However, it is His life, His sacrificial death, miraculous resurrection and overwhelming love for us that we can celebrate every day of the year...
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 kjv
