Christmas Day is always a special day at our house. Our good friends, the Dundores, came over mid-day to celebrate Jesus' birthday with a party. Avery recited the Christmas story from Luke 2, we sang Christmas carols (accompanied by Maria on the piano), and we enjoyed a special birthday cake in honor of our Savior. My favorite memory of the morning was all of the kids singing "This little light of mine, I'm gonna' let it shine . . . Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine" while they held their glowsticks high.
Thank You, Jesus, for coming to this dark world to save us from our own sin. Thank You, that You were born to die for us, taking the penalty of our sin upon yourself so that we can be pure and righteous in God's eyes. Thank you that it is by Your grace we have been saved -- that we don't have to be "good enough". Thank You that by our faith in Christ alone, You have assured us an eternal home in heaven. Come soon, Lord Jesus!
