What Christmas Means to Me

Today I am writing this post in the comfort of my home, with the smells of Egg Nog Bread Pudding in the air my children tucked away in their room playing their latest video game gifts and my hubby napping soundly.  I am filled with a wonderful sense of peace and contentment.  Not because I was able to buy enough gifts for all of my loved ones and not because I received everything on my Xmas wish list but because I am consciously aware of the gift that I carry around in my heart every waking moment of my life. 

The goodness of God was released on that day over 2000 years ago and Jesus was born.  He became the bridge for us to gain access to all the treasures in Heaven that God wanted to shower on us His children.  He brought peace, love, joy, goodness, patience, gentleness, kindness, faithfulness and faith to this earth.  Finally, we now had the ability to live a full and abundant life.
