Twas The Night

before Carragins first Christmas. Let me say that I am pumped about this being our little girls first Christmas. Did we go a little overboard? Probably. But she only gets one 1st Christmas.

Which brings me to this thought. Have you ever thought about the very first Christmas? Sure we have read the Bible story many times over and over. The question is, have it become something that we just do because its Christmas, or do we stop and ponder what it was like that night?

On that night the world would forever be changed. That night the sin problem would be dealt with. That night healing entered the world. That night hope was ushered in. That night Salvation had come to all who would believe on His name. See that night along time ago was more than the Baby Jesus being born in a manger. That night long ago is where Life, true life, began.

Sometime today or tomorrow, a mist the hustle and bustle of Christmas (which we have commercialized way to much) may we all (including myself) stop and think about that glorious night in a town called Bethlehem where the King of Kings and Lord of Lords came to this earth to give us hope, healing, and Salvation to all that would believe.

From our Family to yours. Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!!!!!!!!
