The Gift of Christmas

Friday's Grand Connection Fun


My friend Karen Jordan shared some of her family's wonderful Christmas traditions in her blog BLESSED. She asked, "When your children ask you, 'What does (Christmas) mean to you?’' What do you tell them? Or rather, how do you 'show' them?"

On Christmas Day, Pops and I are reminded of how Almighty God showed His incomprehensible love. He sent His Son to meet our greatest need.

"If our greatest need had been information," Max Lucado says, "God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior."

As we give gifts to loved ones this Christmas, may we remember the greatest Gift of all!

You may want to watch the video below with your grandchildren and talk about what it would be like if Jesus were born in today's age. (I think that you'll enjoy it too!)





Merry Christmas,
Mary

I love the quote from Max Lucado! Family get-togethers during the holidays can often be a reminder of how much we need a Savior--His forgiveness and His power to forgive others. Hope you had a blessed Christmas!

Karen, we had a wonderful Christmas and hope that you did, too. Yes, where would we be without a Savior?
