It's December - so what?

December - the month that children wait anxiously for, that pocketbooks dread, but the month that can mean more for a person's relationship with God than almost any other time of the year, but only if we stop to spend time with Him. 

Do you have love/hate feelings about this month, about Christmas time?  Let's work on getting "love" to be the primary feeling for all of us.  Maybe we should start out by thinking about why we celebrate December 25.

This month I'll be including little pieces of my book, "These My Christmas Dreams" from time to time.  I hope you enjoy them.

Music is such a beautiful part of preparing for the Christmas season.  God made us so that we would love music.  God made us so that we would sing (some of us, a little off key) but still we sing.  God's song is all about forgiveness and love.  Sing today.  Sing of the Baby in the manger.  Sing of the God who loves and forgives.  His song and His heart are full of forgiveness. 

Floating on the breeze I hear, touching, poignant, crystal clear,
a song of heavenly majesty,
a message sent from God to me.

The song was born when God’s heart broke at His creation’s sin.
He named the song forgiveness.
It would bring us back to Him.

Beating in the heart of God the Holy song began. 
Forgiveness, oneness, purity, is coming back to man. 

Sing and celebrate God's forgiveness.  That's why He came.  That's why we celebrate.
