Christmas Day


Born free
 
Has the day brought joy and gladness? Did you find peace in your heart? Who was at the centre of your thoughts? And dare I ask if you had time for prayer? If your day was like mine you would have rejoiced and been thankful for all your blessings.
Ready for the feast

The children were totally spoiled with many presents, but what fun there was! Pirate costumes, sword fights, shouts and laughter, LeapPad earphones, quiet moments, DVDs and plenty to eat. There were tears, tantrums and disappointments too. The devil lurked in dark corners and tried his best to spoil; he stabbed here and there, but to no avail.
Can you find the Star of David?

The spirit of Christmas prevailed; love overcame, and family bonds were strengthened. There was a growing together and an acceptance of our weaknesses, along with a better understanding of who were are and how we relate.

Thank you God for Christmas Day because it is a time when we celebrate the birth of a very special infant, the Holy Jesus, born of a Virgin.

Luke 1:34, 35 ‘Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.”’
