Light of the world . . .

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." - Matthew 2:1-2I am glad that my mom and dad told me the real meaning of Christmas since I was a little girl. It's not about the the presents, it's about The Present. It's not about the food, it's about The Bread of Life. It's not about the tree all garnished in tinsel, it's about the Cross on which He took the nails, It's not about the parties, it's about the Presence of God - incarnate.

For He is the Light of the world . . . who stepped down into darkness . . . who opened my eyes let me see beauty that makes this heart adore Him - Hope of a life spent with You. For here we are to worship. - written by Chris Tomlin

Indeed - You are the Reason.

Thank you for wrapping Your arms around us and calling us Your own.
