Today I am thankful for my family. We are all gathering together for our Christmas dinner today since the holiday falls on a Sunday. I'll get to see my uncles, cousins, and friends that I rarely see for the rest of the year. And this year Granny hooked it up, so we don't have to cook as much! I'm thankful to be a part of such a loving bunch. My days were filled with laughter, love, and warmth, and I thank God for choosing this family for me to grow up in.
I'm also thankful for the dawning of new beginnings. With the close of a year, my mind always seems to look forward, and there are a lot of great things on my horizon. God is showing me where He wants to take me, and I am ready and willing to go! Thank You Lord, for Your words of promise to me! Thank You for showing me why I'm here!
I'm also grateful most of all for Jesus. If He hadn't chosen to come, we wouldn't be celebrating right now. If Jesus hadn't chosen to have His majesty shrouded in the humble form of a baby boy, we wouldn't have the comfort and joy that we're experiencing right now. Jesus, I am so happy You chose to come to earth! I'm so happy that You didn't just come, but You fulfilled Your mission giving up Your innocent life for the countless souls who were on their way to hell. Thank You for giving us the choice of eternal life!
Have a blessed Christmas everyone!
Verse of the Day: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:10-14
