Thankful Thursday

"And the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you; you will find a baby wrapped in cloths, and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitide of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.'" Luke 2:10-14

I am thankful this week for this season of Christmas. First and foremost, a time to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. A time to celebrate the precious gift of eternal life that He gave to us. A gift given of great sacrifice.

After that, I am thankful for all of the many things that come secondary to Jesus' birth. I am thankful for....

~ special time spent with family
~ a time of the year focused on love and giving to others
~ Christmas lights and decorations on the tree
~ beautiful Christmas music
~ Christmas dinner
~ Christmas desserts
~ Christmas Eve services at church
And last, but certainly not least, all of you that visit me here, that leave comments, that pray with me, and that share from your own hearts on your blogs. You all are very special to me and I thank the Lord for this wonderful community that I found this year.
