It's Christmas!
The weeks, sometimes months, of planning and preparing for the holidays reach it's peak this weekend, gathering with friends and family. We've been blessed to celebrate the coming of Christ at school concerts, gift exchanges, work banquets, and worship services...like we used to; gathering with each other to remember God's great gift of love toward us.
So as we celebrate this weekend my prayer is this,
"that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God (Eph 3:17-19).
May you know the love of God in a deeper way as we celebrate His gift of grace toward us. Merry Christmas.
