I love that old Christmas song. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! I've always loved Christmas. All the sounds, smells, decorations, traditions. Everything! I love trying to find "the perfect gift" for my loved ones, I love going caroling with our church, I love all the delicious treats everyone makes this time of year, I love spending time with family and I even love the cold weather (for a little while anyways:-). I LOVE Christmas!
But what does any of this have to do with the birth of Christ?
Jesus came to this earth as a baby, lived a sinless life, died and was resurrected so we can be reconciled with our Heavenly Father.
If you have never accepted God's perfect gift, Jesus Christ, now is the perfect time! New life in Christ is the best gift you can ever receive, no matter what time of the year!
Psalm 121
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever.

Hey Craven, my name is Sandra. I read a lot of blogs on religion and prayer and I've i feel like I've ended up here once before. I ran across this prayer exchange website and I haven't had the chance to ask my Church what their stance is on it.
ReplyDeleteI think that there are some benefits to a site like this but some others might find it questionable.
The website is http://www.prayermarket.com/.
I am curious what you (or other Christians) think about it and know that I and maybe your readers would be interested in hearing your opinion.
I'll check back here in the next day or two, thanks & God bless

Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI personally don't believe anything having to do with prayer should have any kind of price tag attached. Our relationship with God is a personal relationship that Jesus paid the price for.
Have a blessed Christmas!
