ORIGINALLY POSTED FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2011

“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.”

Galatians 4:4, 5

"Amazing thought! that God in flesh

Would take my place and bear my sin;

That I, a guilty, death-doomed soul,

Eternal life might win! –Anon.

God broke into human history to offer
us the gift of eternal life.”

Amazing A Capella Group Sings a Christmas Classic That You Will Love (Drummer Boy)

Jesus, Our Savior

In fulfillment of the scriptures

Jesus came to earth,

Not as a man, but as a child,

His was a humble birth.

There were no crowds to greet Him,

No party nor fanfare,

Just a simple setting,

He entered unaware.

But the reason for His coming

Is one that must be told...

He's the key to our salvation,

Prophesied from days of old.

He took on human nature

So He could bear our sin

Upon the cross, in place of us,

Eternal life to win.

What greater gift could we receive

Than His abounding grace...

The promise that we'll one day share

His presence face to face!

Today’s quotes: Debbie Hardy – “Let’s focus this Christmas on what we can give to others, not on our list of wants."

Donna Collins - "Perfect peace is the true gift of Christmas and it can't be bought with money or a credit card. Seek joy and happiness in what you have. Be grateful for the blessings of life. God gives us much when we are happy with what we have.

The following was taken from the post, Giving the Gift of Time. It appeared first on Jill Savage.

Dr. Rob Currie asks us this: "As you make plans for special time with a family member, consider these suggestions:

Do something you both enjoy. Mutual fun is a powerful bonding force.
If time or money don’t allow for a full day experience together, do something for an afternoon or a few hours in the morning.
With young children, it may be better to spend a few hours together rather than an all-day event.

What about you? What have you done with family members or what are you planning to do?
