The miracle of Christmas is not what it is portrayed as on
the Hallmark channel. All those warm, fuzzy, feel good stories are super fun
and enjoyable to watch, trust me I know, Riley and I have seen just about all
of them! But to Hallmark, the miracle is: meeting a new special someone;
families coming together that have been separated for years; lights and trees
and gingerbread houses. While all of those things can bring joy at this time of
year, they are certainly not a Christmas Miracle! The miracle of Christmas was
and is and always will be the sacrifice of God the Father, sending his only Son
to this Earth to save us (John 3:16). That He came from the glory of
heaven and humbled himself to walk among us and that he faced all the
temptations we do and still never sinned. Jesus’ example, from birth to death,
is the miracle. Make the chose to not get caught up in all the world says that
Christmas is. Sure, watch the movies and enjoy the traditions and activities of
the season, but don’t forget what is most important; time celebrating and
thanking God for His true Miracle: Jesus!
