The True Meaning of Christmas


My favorite time of the year is definitely Christmas and all of the preparations for this special day are filled with great anticipation and happiness. 

Knowing that this is the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, I stand in awe of the way God arranged circumstances to bring His Son into the world. Caesar Augustus' decree for the payment of taxes, forced Joseph and Mary back to his ancestral home of  Bethlehem.  Riding that far on a donkey and then not having a place to stay, had to be a very uncomfortable and distressing time.  However, even when we are in the will of God, He doesn't guarantee that we will live a comfortable life.  In our distressing times we are promised that not only is He walking through it with us, but He will work it for our good.   He always has the perfect plan and is still in the business of arranging circumstances in our lives.

This Christmas Scene has the music Silent Night attached to it.
