I've had the most wonderful Christmas ever. My first as a Christian and my first time celebrating the season that Jesus gave. In the past, it has always been just another reason for gathering with the family, a reason to be joyous as everyone else is joyous. This year's special...as we gather to celebrate the birth of Christ, our Saviour, our Lord, our Redeemer, we come together to remember the reason for this season. The love of Christ truly touched me in this season, ever so real, ever so special...simply magical....but it's not. It's so so real...with Christ in the centre of life, everything falls into place nicely, perfectly, seemingly with no effort at all.
Today, there was no awkwardness. And i heard the best words spoken to me throughout the past week. The answers are so simple...i am Daddy's Beloved Princess...who can intimidate me? Everything that happens....is natural...and there's no need to feel compelled or afraid. With Daddy on my side, nothing really stands in my way.
Sweet memories of this Christmas linger ... firmly etched in my mind. Jesus, the reason for the season and the greatest gift of all. |
