For many of us it’s the last day of work before the long Christmas weekend. Either today will be full and back-to-back trying to get as much done as we can, or it will be knocking off sometime early in the afternoon to get a jump on the holiday break. It’s the time that for unto us we are given much. There is nothing more precious and sacred than what we are given than to be able to worship and bring glory to our Savior. This past weekend in our church, our Pastor shared with us this from Fulton Oursler. There is not a more appropriate message to complete this day and start the time of celebration of the birth of Jesus.

“With much help and counsel I have told here the greatest story once more – the story of the greatest event in human history. For once upon a time and long ago it actually happened, according to the faith of true believers, among which the author counts himself. God, who had fashioned time and space in a clockwork of billions of suns and stars and moons, in the form of His beloved Son became a human being like ourselves. On this microscopic midge of a planet He remained for thirty-three years. He was born in a stable and lived as a workingman and died on a cross. He came to show us how to live, not only for a few years but eternally. He explained truths that would make our souls joyous and free. This is the story of Jesus – the greatest story ever told.”

Merry Christmas to you!
