Love came down on Christmas Day so many years ago and brought the greatest happiness the world would ever know… Peace came down on Christmas Day to fill the hearts of men with all the sweet tranquility each Christmas brings again… Joy came down on Christmas Day as angels came to earth heralding the miracle of our Messiah's birth.

Jesus Christ became Incarnate for one purpose, to make a way back to God that man might stand before Him as He was created to do, the friend and lover of God Himself.
-Oswald Chambers
For the great and powerful of this world, there are only two places in which their courage fails them, of which they are afraid deep down in their souls, from which they shy away. These are the manger and the cross of Jesus Christ. No powerful person dares to approach the manger, and this even includes King Herod. For this is where thrones shake, the mighty fall, the prominent perish, because God is with the lowly. Here the rich come to nothing, because God is with the poor and hungry, but the rich and satisfied he sends away empty. Before Mary, the maid, before the manger of Christ, before God in lowliness, the powerful come to naught; they have no right, no hope; they are judged.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become the sons of God.
-C.S. Lewis
In a couple of days another Christmas will be over. Decorations will be taken down and the grind of daily life will resume. We must do something to remember that the message and meaning of CHristmas does not cease when the celebration is over. Christmas is not really about a celebration, Christmas tress, and piles of gifts. Christmas, the coming of Christ, is about everyday life. God is with us and we need to do anything we can,to remember that fact the rest of the year.
