It's Christmas Time!

Good day everybody! I am so excited because our Christmas Concert is practically here! This week we'll have 1 regular rehearsal on Wednesday, our dress rehearsal on Thursday (yes, it's important to wear the concert clothes to get the concert pictures taken, etc.) and then finally our concert on Friday! I am so happy and looking forward to it! Point of Grace will be singing and it's such a neat experience to be able to sing with such great bands! Last year we had Charles Billingsley and on 2012 we had the amazing Annie Moses Band ... Ah! The memories!

The Annie Moses Band even caused a "Christmas Miracle" and they gave us "the gift of snow" here in Texas!

Have I told you how much I love Christmas? Do you see what I see??? do you FEEL WHAT I FEEL??? Our Savior was born and that's enough reason to celebrate! Yes... we can get into the whole deal of the fact that we don't really know the date when it happened, etc... but I am thankful He was born and even when we should remember and think of His birth EVERYDAY... It's awesome to have a specific date when we can all rejoice together, in adoration and give Him our gifts!

No Christmas can be sad... whether we have money or not... whether we have family or not, whether we have had losses or not on this season in the past or present time... We can still rejoice because The King of Kings, Lord of Lords... was born IN A MANGER! A manger is definitely not the most "expected" of places for a King... but what a wonderful thing... It shows how He can be BORN IN OUR HEARTS... no matter how dirty, how worthless we might feel it is... He can be born where He finds room! Will He find room in your heart this Christmas? Hopefully we won't be too busy or crowded for Him. That's all good and fun... but let's remember to make room for the reason to celebrate!  Do you have a special tradition in your family? or... is there a special event you look forward to in your church? Will you share?
