Merry Christmas!
Oh how much I love the Christmas season. Christmas lights, cold weather, snow, and getting to see people on festive occasions makes this my favorite time of year. Yes, I enjoy the newness of spring, the summer fun, and the cool, autumn months....but there's just something about the 4ish weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Matt and I are really enjoying our advent readings. For those who may not be acquainted with Advent (literally, "coming") is the time leading up to Christmas day that focuses on the promises and their fulfillment of Christ in scripture. We have just begun at Creation and worked our way through the Old Testament and into the New Testament each night of December. It was a great tradition we started last year for our first Christmas and are looking forward to someday reading these same passages with Josiah. It's exciting to see just how great our salvation is---something worth celebrating!
So here's to a Merry Christmas to you wherever you are, hoping that you are trusting in God for the salvation his has sent in the child in a manger. For there is no other by which man can be saved.
