ALMOST CHRISTMAS!

It is not really beginning to look much like Christmas...at all...but the day is drawing nigh nonetheless. I wrapped most of my gifts this morning. I am just waiting on the remaining orders to be delivered to the house so I can wrap those too! I cannot wait for everyone to open what I got for them! I love gift giving! It warms my heart when I know that the recipient genuinely likes and is thankful for whatever I give to them. I especially enjoy watching the looks on the faces of my parents on Christmas morning. They are so touched that their little girl got them something and I am usually pretty good at picking out something they end up LOVING! :) And yet, as thrilling as gift giving is for me. I strive to ALWAYS remember The ULTIMATE gift: That of Jesus Christ, the Son Of God, to a lost, dying and desperate world. I for one would be lost without Jesus Christ dying for my sins and saving my soul. I shutter to think what my life would be if Christ was not real and strong in my life. I have dark days just like everyone else, sure. But by His Power and His Spirit, I don't have to cope with thosen dark days by reaching for a bottle, popping a pill, harming myself or lying down with another man for the rest of my life! He, ( Jesus), has set me free from all that junk and because He lives, I never have to return to the darkness ever again. I am now and forevermore shall be, a child of His Marvelous Light!
