What a wonderful verse to start with for the month of December! God does supply all our needs.
Some people have abundance of money and material things. Others have very little. The Christmas season is a time for giving. It is not the cost of the gifts, it is the gift given from the heart that counts.
A phone call, letter or an invitation for a meal can mean more than the most expensive present in the world. Your time with your friends and family is the most meaningful gift you can give.
God wants the same thing. You can give a large offering, go to church or do some charity work, but the most important thing you can give to God is time to read His word, pray and then tell someone else about His special gift, the Lord Jesus.
25 days until Christmas. To some that is exciting. Children waiting, anxiously waiting. Will it ever come.
Moms and Dads are thinking, so soon and so much to do.
Older folks may not welcome the day so much. Maybe they are alone or away from loved ones.
Whatever your expectations about Christmas, it will come.
Looking back to the birth of. Jesus. He was expected for years. People looked forward to His coming. When He did enter the world it was not as a king as they expected, but as a little baby in a lowly manger.
He was born to die. He grew up, died on a cross and rose again. Then after appearing to many He ascended into Heaven.
He will return. This time as King. Are you looking and waiting? Just like Christmas past, Jesus is coming again!
Tom Curtis cofounder of SOS Events Ministry said, “Getting up every morning is an event.”
Do you thank the Lord for each new day?
Tom woke up many mornings not feeling physically well, however, he always used each day to Praise the Lord and tell everyone he met about his wonderful Savior, Jesus.
Today, rejoice that you have this new day to be used by God to do His will. 
This isthe day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.Psalms 118:24
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11
It is such a joy to go shopping and hear songs of the season. Maybe not the hymns we love about baby Jesus, but happy uplifting songs that bring joy.
Jingle Bells, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. These songs though not about the true meaning of Christmas gives a spring in our steps.
People seem happier at this time of year. More smiles and more tolerance of long lines in the grocery store or at the mall.
That is why I love the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We must be careful not to get so caught up in the worldly activities that we forget the true meaning of the season. Jesus is the reason for the Season.
Holidays are something to be thankful for because it gives us time to be with family and friends.
It is time to stop and count our many blessings thar God has given us.
As we go now into the time of year when many holidays are celebrated, we as Christians must let our lights shine bright.
Christmas lights are everywhere. Shopping and the hustle of parties and other activities take our time and attention, we must remember it is the perfect time to witness for Jesus.
So be thankful for the holidays coming and use this time wisely.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.Matthew 5:16
God’s Word, the Bible. His way of communication with us.
All the answers to life’s problems and concerns are found in the Bible.
Where did I come from? How can I know what to do with my life? How do I choose a spouse? What should my relationship be with my children? Neighbors? Friends?
Is there life after death? How do I get to spend eternity with God?
All of life’s questions are answered in the Bible. God wants to bless us and He does give us the answers, but we have to be reading, searching and understanding what He has to say to us in His Word.
Today give thanks to God for giving us His written Word. Then make it a priority in your life everyday.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
