This Christmas slow down and take a moment to trust and wait

Luke 2:25-26
"Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ."

So we survived the so called "End of the World" yet again. In this modern life we seems to be always eager and rushing for things. Even our eventual demise we seem to be eager to embrace quickly and every year we keep announcing our impending doom.

This Christmas we should take time to reflect on what has gone and what is to come.
To clear our minds of thoughts of doom and gloom
To build our trust in God
And to remember the true meaning of Christmas
That God sent his Son Jesus Christ down to Earth
To give us Hope
And show us his Grace
To give us a sign
That God is in control
And we are in his care
Nothing we do will suffice to redeem ourselves
Everything we have is from God

Good Friday - a time to remember the ultimate sacrifice

Good Friday comes around again and we are reminded of the ultimate sacrifice that was made for us. We are reminded that it is not through our good works or deeds that we are saved and redeemed, but through the ultimate sacrifice laid down on the cross oh so long ago.

As Easter comes, please remember it is not about furry bunny rabbits or colorful Easter eggs, how nice that may be...but it is about a gift so much more precious for the price that was paid.
