The Season!

Well it has arrived. The special time of year when everyone is racing around, distracted, buying and making that perfect gift. We get pretty distracted by that and seem to forget that the perfect gift was delivered to us in a tiny sweet package over 2000 years ago, in Bethlehem. He came here, a pretty cruddy place from a perfect place. Here, with rude, selfish, ungrateful people like me, instead of his father and angels and beauty beyond measure. He came here willingly and faced a painful life and a horrible death for us.
Give it up, you can't find, buy or make the perfect gift. It already happened, it has been done. Don't forget to share that message and take a few moments to be thankful for the best gift you have ever been given. Thank God for that gift!

Is anyone wondering why the Jewish baby would be born in front of a birdhouse built to look like a church? LOL! I can't help it, I just like the way it looks!
