Christmas Thoughts on Thursday

I enjoyed our time of discussion in the Adult Discipleship class last evening. It is amazing to focus on the stories behind the story of Christmas. I am not only intrigued about looking into the information of the Christmas story but also the fresh inspiration that arises as we take another look at the Baby in the Manger. I encourage each of you to lift your eyes and heart toward Christ, our Lord and Savior and listen for His Voice to speak fresh revelation in your heart. Do you remember that the book of Hebrews declares that the word of God is "alive and powerful?" Let the Word of God come alive in you today!!!

I am going to share a poem that one of the ladies at New River wrote and shared with us in a recent Leadership Meeting. She expresses her thoughts about CHRISTMAS TIME through the following words. 

CHRISTMAS time is all about a baby being born

Heaven's rejoicing on that first Christmas morn

Red ribbons and bows cannot ever compare

It's the birth of JESUS, that we are to share

SAVIOR and LORD, was born on that Christmas day

Tell others the good news of Christ, for HE is the way

May we always celebrate our soon coming KING

And never forget, He is our EVERYTHING

Sometimes we seem to forget, that the best is still yet

Times we needed a helping hand or a lift

I know that we've been given GOD'S greatest gift

May God truly bless you this CHRISTMAS season

Every day, just know that CHRIST is the REASON

I trust that you will be blessed and encouraged today as we remember the blessings of the birth of Christ.
